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.
WOW. 😯
also WOW.. 😯
thanks
Wow. Americans are a bit pepper-spray happy eh?
Land of the free and all that.
Thanks.
Blimey! Nature's not been reet happy this year, has she?
Very good thanks.

It wasn't until that pic that I noticed how dusty it was here 😳
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.
really depressing images, brown i thought exactly the same thing. number 30 was really distressing, i wish i hadnt seen that.
A bit US centric but otherwise a good selection.
I thought these were powerful too

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.
10 and 18 are amazing pictures.
Some really sad ones there though 🙁
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]
