The final one is for me the most powerful
Wow. I remember seeing the picture of the Chinese guy in front of the tanks in a ad for world peace or something like that. So moving!
Good stuff!
They're all incredibly emotional photographs, capturing significant moments in history. I agree with taunted tho & reckon the last one is the most powerful
All incredible pictures. The last one is the most moving; is it because it is the most recent, or that it is still on-going, or that there is a child involved?
Great post.
