Australian Scott Jones kisses his Canadian girlfriend Alex Thomas after she was knocked to the ground by a police officer's riot shield in Vancouver, British Columbia. Canadians rioted after the Vancouver Canucks lost the Stanley Cup to the Boston Bruins.
I picked this photo because a kiss during a riot is so significant and sweat to me. It ensures the girl that everything is alright. This photo made it to the top 40 because it is reassuring to everyone that in a time scarcity everything will be ok.

A firefighter gives water to a koala during the devastating Black Saturday Bushfires that burned across Victoria, Australia, in 2009.
I chose this photo because it shows how people aren't our only worry in this world. We have to worry for our wildlife and take care of them. This photo is in the top 40 because it tells people to care for other species on this planet.

The iconic photo of Tank Man, the unknown rebel who stood in front of a column of Chinese tanks in an act of defiance following the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989.
This photo is one of my favorites because this one man means everything to the Tiananmen protest but one man doesn't mean anything in war. This made it to the top 40 because of the power of symbolism in a photo.
