World Press Photo

Assasination of Benozir Bhutto,Rawalpindi, Pakistan , 27 December

The very first moment when I see this picture, I felt shocked and distressed.
Probably I know that it is not a manipulated photo; this is a real journalist photo.

I admire the journalist's courage for taking this photo as the suicide bomb went out near by and he didnt run away. He took his camera out and shot photos of the surroundings.

This is a very beautiful picture of a low key photo. The caption of the photo says: Mui, a homeless woman with HIV and her son bathe in the Red River, Hanoi, Vietnam

The journalist was touched that the woman and her son went to bathe almost daily at th Red river and he decided to take this picture. This picture gives a very sensual and emotional touch due to the close up view and the monotonous colour. The hands of the kid and the woman also grabs the attention of the picture.

I would say that its a very captivating photo.
