Actually, what's amazing about it is that it is a strikingly bad photo. I'm sure the fascist World Press Corp loves it because it elicits sympathy for terrorists, but you can't see the father's face at all, and the child's face is alrgely darkened, and not terribly emotive either. You have no idea what the hood is about, nor can you tell much about the context.

"Actually, what's amazing about it is that it is a strikingly bad photo."

That was my first thought. In fact, I couldn't even tell what it was a photo OF. It just looked like some shrouded figure sitting on the ground behind - or in front of - some barbed wire. It took the caption to tell me what the picture was all about. VERY bad photo.

I completely agree with your assessment! My main problem with the photo is the fuzzy barbed wire going through the middle of the picture. I would have gotten an 'F' in photojournalism class if I would have brought this to my professor......
