40 Greatest Photos Ever

Sisters pose for the same photo three separate times, years apart.

• I picked this photo, because I like how the three sisters took the same photo years apart, and how the flower on the left symbolizes that one of the sisters has passed away.
• I like how the photographer placed these two photos side by side showing that as time passes by everything in life continues to move on.
• I think this photo mad the cut for the top 40 photos ever, because it is relatable to everyone that not everything stays the same, and with time also come loses.

A dog named “Leao” sits for a second consecutive day at the grave of her owner, who died in the disastrous landslides near Rio de Janiero on January 15, 2011.

• I picked this photo because I think it was cute but also sad how the dog went to lay by her owners side; not wanting to be separated.
• The thing that drew my eyes toward this photo was how it shows all of the other graves dug up in the background waiting to be filled, while the dog is laying by the owners grave waiting for them to come back.
• This photo made the cut for the top 40 photos ever because it shows the deep connection that the dog has for their owner, and how much they really care about them. It also creates a big deal of emotion because a lot of people love their animals, and can sympathize with this photo.

“Wait For Me Daddy,” by Claude P. Dettloff, October 1, 1940: A line of soldiers march in British Columbia on their way to a waiting train as five-year-old Whitey Bernard tugs away from his mother’s hand to reach out for his father.

• I picked his photo because I think it's sad how the little boy is running after his dad and trying to grab his hand, not wanting him to leave.
• I liked how the author captured the picture of the little boy desperately reaching out to grab his fathers hand and the father is also reaching back, but the mother is chasing after him knowing that the father must leave. Also how they show all the other troops walking in a line in the distance and all their loved ones walking beside them too.
• This photo made the top 40 cut because it shows how duty to your country required tough sacrifices, and what you are leaving behind knowing you may not return.
