The grenade launcher is old and worn. The record during one day of shelling the Russian lines is 180 grenades. Slava is in charge of transporting the shells from storage when the commander Robin gets the coordinates from the surveillance drone. The impact from the blast makes everything shudder when the shot is fired. The target is a Russian troop concentration approximately 5000 meters away.

Third Place

Realizing the baby is drowning face-down in the water, migrants flip the baby over in an attempt to save its life while trying not to drown themselves as they cross the Rio Grande River to the United States border on May 11, 2023 in Matamoros, Mexico. People waiting on the banks of the river could see the baby was drowning before the men in the water could, so they desperately shouted to the men. The thick vegetation in the river hid the reality of the deep water, making the crossing in hopes of asylum in the hours before Title 42 expired that night very dangerous.

Honorable Mention

Migrants cross the Rio Grande river from Piedras Negras, Mexico to the United States on Tuesday, September 26, 2023.
