This is the World Press Photo Of The Year

This is the World Press Photo Of The Year

This stunning image of a woman in Yemen comforting an injured relative during demonstrations against Yemen's president won the World Press Photo Of The Year. Samuel Aranda, a 32-year-old Spaniard, took the shot on October 15 in a makeshift field hospital set up in a mosque.

This is widely regard as one of the most prestigious photography contests in the world. Apparently there are some photos of a baby that are causing quite a stir, but it's well worth it to check out the other winners of the contest for some truly phenomenal photos.
