top 40 photos

“La Jeune Fille a la Fleur,” a photograph by Marc Riboud

I picked this photo because it shows the power of beauty against the dark figures in the war. It also shows how brave the pacifist is because in the picture you can see in the picture how he is up against a whole army. In the composition of the photo you can see the flower lit up in the center and a long line of soldiers in the background and in the foreground there is a close up of the soldier's gun. I think it made the top 40 pictures because it is a powerful symbol of the flower power movement.

I chose this photo because the dog looks so sad that her owner died. The photographer composed this photo so that the dog and the grave are at the bottom of the picture and there are rows of holes dug by a tractor that go off the page. I think it made the top 40 pictures because it shows the loyalty of the dog to her owner.

I chose this photo because there is a 5 year old and a 105 year old holding hands after a hurricane. This photo is composed so that the girl and tho elderly woman are in the foreground and the police are evacuating them away. There also are two boys being pushed in a yellow cart behind them. I think this picture made the top 40 because it represents the century between the woman and the girl and how they can still connect even though they are 100 years apart.
