Yeah I was quite careful in selecting my pics here, since a lot of pictures that "influence" public opinion or touch people are traumatic in nature and capture distressing emotions, and not everyone can stomach that. Personally, I favour pics that show lots of emotion.
While I was going through pictures online that are award winning stuff, I was just again reminded of the human spirit.
Also, I can't say I've ever stumbled upon dark deep web content, although it sounds ominous...
What is impressive about a lot of these photographs is the timing, but also the correct exposure, which is truly a talent, because when things happen in a split second, there's no time to fiddle with exposure. Like this one of the migrant crisis:

I also wonder about the photographers, how they stay sane when their subjects are so traumatised. Sure you can try and stay detached, although I doubt if that's possible.
