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 agree, they are all make me want to cry.

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.
