The World Press Photo organization has announced the winners of its 2008 contest.
The overall winner, shown above, taken by Tim Hetherington shows an American soldier in Afghanistan. As with last year's awards, conflict is a common theme amongst the news category winners. The first place winner in the spot news category is a photograph taken by UK photojournalist John Moore at the exact moment a bomb explodes in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, killing Benazir Bhutto.
My favourite of the winners is the series of shots by Erik Refner of marathon runners taken at the finish line in the sports feature category.

I have friends in Afghanistan right now, so this picture hits me in several ways. Thanks for bringing it home to all of us.
