2012 World Press Photo

Here's the winners of the 2012 World Press Photo competition. The organization holds a yearly juried contest for photographs taken by press photographers, such as photographers working for AP or Getty images. A lot of the photos really express the humanity behind the news stories we've all heard about in the past year. For example, there's a mother holding her wounded son in a mosque during the protests in Yemen. But this photo is my favorite for aesthetic reasons is this one, shot underwater.

    The colors and distortion from the water make this photo look like a painting.

    I like of the point of view in this photograph. The fish are swimming in the opposite direction of the people, which intrigues me. An imagination can get lost in the detail of this shot...:) Thanks for sharing!
