Tough question, but I think my all-time favourite photo would have to be
this one:

Not a very good quality jpeg file, but you get the idea. Perhaps a bit
unfair as only about 20 people have ever had the chance to take the
shot. But it's an extraordinary photo, of history in the making, one of
mankind's most superb achievements.
Good choice Roger.
If this illustrates one of mankind's most superb achievements and what's
good about this world, to me the antithesis of it would be the photograph of
the fireman carrying away the child after the Oklahoma bombing, which I seem
to remember won a Pulitzer prize that year. All that's bad about the world
in a single image.
No one else up for this thread?
