Backstage at Ralph Lauren, Fashion Week. (Todd Heisler/The New York Times)I like the subtlety of this shot, the way the light lingers on her champagne-colored dress, the way the everyone but the model is out of focus. It's both glossy and subdued, which doesn't capture the frantic nature of Fashion Week but does capture the classic beauty of a line like Ralph Lauren's. It's also a unique photo for while we notice the dress, the picture does not showcase the model's attire, an atypical choice during Fashion Week.
War orphan Faustin Mugisa, 8, who has machete scars on his head and body, rested at the Kizito Orphanahe in Bunia, in northeastern Congo. Faustin was left for dead in a pile of corpses when ethnic Lendu militiamen hacked his mother and seven siblings to death in 2003. Faustin's father discovered him alive and took him to the bush to recover, but his father was later hacked to death by the same militia group. (Finbarr O'reilly/Reuters)
The strength of this photo lies in the expression in this little boys face. But the actual structuring of the photo helps to convey his story. The picture being taken from the side symbolizing how is unstable childhood is unfair and askew. Being framed within the posts of his bed suggests that he has no escape.

I love the color, the motion and the life in this shot. I think it's a perfect representation of the holiday and, despite the raunchiness of the celebration, I like the irony present in the rising sun in the corner, almost hinting to the religious holiday to follow.
