Here. 90% of them about violence, pain and death. I guess it says a lot about humanity.

It's cool that Gutierrez won with that amazing volcano/lightning photo.

I liked the one of Dennis Hopper too. There were only a couple which I didn't see to be particularly outstanding.

I love the smell of facepalm in the morning

I always find photos like that kinda ghoulish. It's hard for me to see it just as an image, I always enter the time & place and wonder about the photographer and what's out of frame. In that photo, this guy is obviously going through a major amount of anguish and here's this knob kneeling down taking his photo.
