    Yes, some very good pictures. The winner is weak to me.

  3. Dietmar on February 14, 2010 at 1:34 pm

    Kay, I do agree with you.

    the winner is not the typical WOW effect picture.

    When the failed revolution would had been financed and managed largely through the CIA.

    Would that change anything?

    I was surprised to see this heavy black vignetting and black overtones acceptable to the world press, but I guess it does not qualify for altering the photo. Apparently, this guy went too far : http://lens.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/03/03/behind-35/

    This Rudik is highly suspicious!!! I nowhere find a website and photos of him.

    Is he even a real photographer ?? ;)))

    I do like the comment of Craig Warga. Sums it up to me.

    Thank you Kay for the link to the image. It took me some minutes to find this foot.

    And how can they award a video jpg ?

    Disqualified World Press Photo speaks out, says retouching was legitimate
