What is the greatest photo of all time?

What about that picture of the guy tied up to 2 seperate trees that was in the "we didn't Start the fire" video? I believe it was on for an extended period just after he sings "trouble in the suez"

There's an interesting story behind this one, too. The guy who took the picture was named Eddie Adams, and he regretted taking it, because he felt it unfairly portrayed the South Vietnamese police chief shown executing the handcuffed Viet Cong.

I did an quick search and found that Adams refused to display this photo in his studio, despite winning a Pulitzer for it. "Sometimes a picture can be misleading because it does not tell the whole story. I don't say what he did was right, but he was fighting a war and he was up against some pretty bad people."

That picture doesn't do that justice. From another angle which I've seen in video, the guy is in outer space more or less, you can see the blackness of space and the curvature of the earth. Totally spine tingling to watch him jump from there.
