This photo has always been one of my favorite photos. The composition of this photo shows exactly how small the man is in comparison to the tanks. He really has no hope of being able to stop the tanks, but he stands there calmly facing the tanks. I think this photo resonates with me because of the emotions that it elicits in me. Despite the fact that the man has insurmountable odds, he still tries. This photo inspires hope and shows how powerful the human spirit is. The man is willing to risk his life for a cause that he believes in. This photo is also a candid photo, which I think adds to the effect. While a posed photo would have still been stunning in this context, the fact that it shows a moment of real human triumph makes it inspire strong emotions in the viewer. I have loved this photo ever since I first saw it because it makes me inspired by the man's bravery and makes me wonder what I would be willing to die for.
