This image was taken by Thomas Dworzak.  I found this image on magnum photography and I think it has powerful imagery.  The overhead view of the man in the grave with the body right next to him is very depressing but still very intresting subject matter.

This photograph was taken by helen levitt. I really like the sense of abandonment you get when looking at this image.  It shows how wasteful and careless human beings can be.  The colors in this image which are muted also work very well with the entire feel of something that has been discarded and is unwanted.

This photograph is by Author Tress an is called the last portrait of my father. I like the contrast between the figure and the back ground as well as the selection as to where the figure was placed.  One really gets a sense of lonleyness in this image which is what i believe he was trying to portray.
This Photography was taken by Walker Evans.  I like the contrast between the two figures one is in a strong light and the other has much more shadows also the way that he has divided up the space between them is a great compositional choice
This photo graph was taken by Hugh Van Es during the Vietnam war. I find this image interesting for the intense and powerful subject matter.  One can really get the feeling of the horrors of war just by viewing an image such as this one.  Not only is it a strong image emotionally but the stark contrast between the children and the solders is great
