Point taken, John, but if I emphasize PICTURES instead of "world"... ;-)
Besides, the WORLD includes nature, landscapes, cityscapes. Those things seem under-represented in this group. That being said I agree with many of the choices they made. What irks me most is the lack of attribution. That is inexcusable especially for a photography site. Good call on the blurring of Kim Phuc's genitals. Another inexcusable action on their part; her complete and utter nakedness is an essential part of the photo imho.

My "Iconic pictures of the WORLD" response was to Frank's "not a single HCB? St. Ansel? Steichen?" - history represented by photographs; not a history of photography. As such, they should have been chronological and they should have been attributed. "Migrant Mother" is by Dorothea Lange. "Trang Bang Napalm Attack" has been censored.
