The perspective of that picture just doesn't look right.
I've taken better pictures than that.

It is interesting that that photo would win.
It seems to portray a nice car full of rich kids who came into the seamy side of life to gawk for a while.

Another oddity:
The 2 guys on the extreme right and the girl (center) in the car, all 3 seem to be on/using cell phones.
And several of them seem to be looking at something that would be to the back of the photographer. Note the guy standing in the center background, the girl in white in the front seat and the 2 (girl, guy) in the back seat of the car.

It seems to portray a nice car full of rich kids who came into the seamy side of life to gawk for a while.It also says that these kids weren't worried about the Israelis possibly bombing THEM! Most Lebanese weren't worried about the Israeli bombing. They knew that, unlike Hezbollah, the Israelis were not targeting innocent civilians, press hype notwithstanding.

And, if you follow the line of the windshield from the front of the picture to the front of the male driver, it appears that the car could NOT have passed some big, metal container without crushing it.

I was trying to figure that one out myself. Except for the palm in the background, it almost looks like Humboldt Park in the summer.
To: NYer
Yup- probably excluded from the contest were Israeli photographers that captured Kassam rockets flying toward a market filled with mothers and young children, just before impact, showing the absolute horror on the folks faces as they realized they were about to be murdered in cold blood!,
or probably excluded from the contest were photos of body parts flying out a window as a bomb blows up in a Jewish wedding, and wedding guests running from the building only to run smack dab into a car bomber istting outside waiting to murder anyone who tried to escape!
Or,...

The women in the car (looks to be a Merc convertible) are fine examples of Lebanese pulchitrude.
With apologies to lazz,

Nice car, nice clothes. Seems they had a nice life till Hellbollah picked a fight in their 'hood.
Don't defend your way of life. Blame the US, blame Israel, then go party.
