		| | What is everyone's favorite Pulitzer Prize photo for 2005?  Mine has got to be the Marines praying over a fallen Marine.  The lighting and composition is just incredible, not to mention how incredibly moving the photo itself is. |

		| | Wow, they are all gruesome... I guess if I had to pick favourites I would pick number 8 (the women) and number 19 (man on humvee)

		| | I am sure I will catch flack for saying this, but it makes me _very_ sad that they are all war centered. 
 So much beauty in this world, and this is what we end up doing...

 I wish there was just one uplifting pretty shot.

		| | They are all moving photographs. Yes, I too would like to see something other than war, but the Pulitzer prize is "For a distinguished example of breaking news photography". I like the one holding up the dummy helmet to draw out a sniper and also the one with the mascot in his backpack. |

 I was just going to comment on the category for these, you beat me to it.  I agree, they are all moving.  The only ones I don't care for are the ones of the two Mahdi Army soldiers (#6) and the little kids watching the soldiers (#13).  They just don't grab my attention like the others do.

		| | I'd be hardpressed to find a bigger news story last year than the war, so the subject is fitting. 
 You should see the images that won for feature photography.
