The photo below is my favorite because it portrays the true emotions and struggles citizens in Israel face on a daily basis. It does not show catastrophe, however creates a sympathetic feeling.

The photo below depicts the mentality of many Iranian citizens without being biased. Although it seems as if the image was 'set up', it truly wasn't, making it all that much more beautiful.

The photo below is a portrayal of pure emotion. Words are not needed to describe the woman's emotions, the picture does it itself.
