Year in Pictures - Out: This is one of those memorable photos where everything came together in the midst of a fast-moving event. The light, the emotion, the composition, the moment...it's all there. When I first came across this photo while editing a slideshow of the event, it was immediate to me that this would be the iconic image of the bombing in Algiers. It made me feel like I was witnessing the event - the sign of a great photograph.
