    Guyz these are the photos which reveal our identity,culture,cruelity and most of all reality.Some of these pictures are posted before, here in Xb but not the whole series.Some of these pictures are so graphic...violent and extreme.For description and images, helps are taken from multiple websites and blogs.Hope u like it.

    Information about World Press photo of the year:
    World Press Photo of the Year

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



    The vote for Press Photo of the Year is taken during the World Press Photo Awards, hosted by the Dutch foundation World Press Photo. The creator of the winning entry receives €10,000 along with "the most prestigious and coveted award in photojournalism".
    Besides Press Photo of the Year, the 13-member jury awards three more prizes in ten categories (spot news, general news, people in the news, sports and action, sports reporting, current issues, daily life, portraits, arts and entertainment, nature), whereby both individual images and photo series are recognised for excellence.
    The main prize is given to the image that "... is not only the photojournalistic encapsulation of the year, but represents an issue, situation or event of great journalistic importance, and does so in a way that demonstrates an outstanding level of visual perception and creativity".(Awards were not given in the year 1959,1961 and 1970)
