"Final Salute"

It’s no surprise “Final Salute” won first place. The topic speaks to people’s emotions during our current situation with the troops in Iraq. The photos and captions alone gave me goose bumps, although some of them were hard to follow.

I thought the photos with the shadows were a little confusing. Others like the casket in the plane seemed grainy, but that could have been my computer. Regardless, they showed the effects of the war in a more compelling way than other stories can. With such a sensitive topic, I imagine few readers will be harsh critics of the photos.
