Peasants set broccoli into crates to be carried to city markets in Solola, Guatemala, Thursday, Aug. 30, 2007.

The photographer didn't force this frame with a wide lens or unusual perspective, he simply recognized it in the world; people who talk about photography sometimes call this "good seeing." How much does it matter, if at all?
