This first picture was part of an AP article. I found it compelling because it gets across all the emotion surrounding the Boston Marathon bombing even though it's not a picture of victims at the finish line. I like the angle of the picture because it makes you feel like you're kneeling at the memorial. This picture gives a good sense of the support of not only the Boston community, but also the support of people around the country for the bombing victims.
This second picture was part of an article in The Mirror. This image shows the seriousness of the Ebola epidemic by portraying UN workers in an area where an outbreak is present. However, the use of a traffic sign to let people know Ebola is present in the area seems to lessen the seriousness of the situation.
This third picture was used in a Bloomberg article about the protests in Hong Kong. People took to the street to show their support for free speech and to protest an attack on a newspaper editor. The angle of this shot showcases the massive crowd and the overwhelming support for free speech. Not only is the large sign in the middle compelling because of what it says, but also because it's in English. This is interesting since the protest is in Hong Kong and the other signs are in Chinese.
This fourth picture is one of the AP editors' picks. It shows traditional Rajasthani dancers performing during the Modi festival at Madison Square Garden. I really like all the bright colors and the dancers' facial expressions. This picture captures the lightheartedness of the event.
