I actually had in mind to start a google search for Number 33 until I scrolled down and saw it in there. I remember when I saw that in the metro newspaper. Its so utterly sad. Speaks a thousand words.

Anyone else find that incredibly depressing? 45 'powerful' images and only 5 or 6 that related to hope, or happiness, or in fact anything positive at all.

Must have been a cheerful group of people who chose that lot.

A bit US centric but otherwise a good selection.

I thought these were powerful too

protestor in Egypt
[img] ?w=620[/img]

corpes in Norway
[img] [/img]

really like this one in terms of composition...there was another one in this series of a North Korean boy (maybe about 6 or so) working in a field, that was good too.

In terms of sport the Johnny Hoogerlands injured arse and leg was a great shot too, but a bit NSFW to post here

Other ones that stick in the mind - Gaddafi doing his fist pumping out the car sunroof, an old guy on crutches in Libya or Syria and he was firing an RPG and one of a protestor in Greece setting fire to himself in front of a bank.

Well, I would say about 3 of them might be amongst the 45 most powerful images of 2011.

Plently of "more powerful" images here IMHO: [url= http://www.theppy.com/ ]Press Photographer of the Year awards.[/url]
