|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board World Press Photo of the Year Joe Cavaretta, Photographer Ft Lauderdale | FL | USA | Posted: 2:16 PM on 02.12.10 ->> http://www.torontosun.com/news/world/2010/02/12/12853206.html any thoughts?  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (1) | Huh?

And lots of extremely graphic and disturbing photos too. As usual, there are some photos in there I just don’t get. The photo of the year was part of a photo essay that was unusual and quite compelling. I don’t think that’s the one I would have chosen for photo of the year, but I really like seeing what the World Press Photo judges choose. That contest always opens my eyes to other possibilities in photojournalism.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

And on the completely other end of the spectrum, I found the slaughterhouse images to be some of the most compelling images awarded this year.

One thing is apparent from looking at everything: converting to black and white, over toning and vignetting will increase you chances of winning.  This post is:  Informative (5) | Funny (0) | Huh?

It's been a year since this http://bit.ly/cVF85j placed third in the Portrait Stories category and I'm still befuddled. Seeing a series of doll portraits win in a major photojournalism contest makes you realize how "vision" is truly in the eye of the beholder.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
