The winner of the photojournalism part of this award - Alain Schroeder - 
submitted all his images in black and white, whereas, on another website 
http://photogrvphy.com/alain-schroeder-living-for-death/? the images are 
in colour. Personally, I think the B&W ones have a lot more impact, and 
I must admit the one with the two chaps holding up and embracing their 
dead nearest and dearests with paddy fields in the background seemed 
especially strong to me. Not that I'd particularly want a large size 
print of it on my wall.
