World Press Photo 2011 Winner

Some days ago was announced the winner for the World Press Photo 2011, which celebrates the best photojournalism picture in the world. The winning photo was from Samuel Aranda, a New York Times photographer. The photo was taken in the capital of Yemen, Sanaa, and shows a woman holding a relative wounded during protests against Yemen's President Saleh. There are no words to describe the drama of this image that stirs deep emotions. The position of the two persons reminds Michelangelo's Pieta, in this case it is a "Yemen Pieta", a masterpiece of modern photography. Congratulations to the author, the award is fully deserved. Here is the link to the photographer's site where you can watch the other photos taken in Yemen and the link to the site of the World Press Photo Contest with the photo gallery of finalists.
