The simplicity of using a powerful picture is what makes this page so satisfying. The photograph is almost painterly in feeling, and the layout allows it to breathe. Just a powerful story telling moment with all the elements of a great photograph including excellent layering that was run with great size to make it come alive on the page. The picture played across the front page is a haunting window into a world most of us will never know. It has both pain and beauty carried off with grace.
