Over on the boxing thread Piton Ron says that for him the three most iconic photos are the raising of the flag at Iwo Jima, Oswald shooting Ruby, and Ali standing over Liston in their rematch.
Good choices all. My additions are Tiananmen Tank Guy, the Oklahoma City firefighter with the baby, Tet street execution, and the young Afghan woman.
Within the realm of journalistic photos, what say you?

Survival's Vietnam photos are high up on my list. Melissa's posted photo of Sharbat Gula is hypnotic. It's impossible not to be caught by that face.
Some iconic climbers/climbing photos:

I know. But she picked that photo. ;o)

I don't think it was Melissa's photo, Marlow. ;-) Y'all really should be
giving credit to these wonderful photographers.
