Carolyn Cole of the Los Angeles Times won the coveted Photojournalist of The Year award for her coverage of the Israeli-Hezbollah conflict in July, 2006. The contest is a project of the National Press Photographers Association, and is described as the contest designed by photojournalists for photojournalists.
Carolyn's work can be seen on BOP's website, and includes the above photograph whose caption tells us that it is of the bodies of civilians, many of them children, killed in the Israeli bombing of Qana lie wrapped in plastic and sprinkled with flower petals. They were among the 1,100 Lebanese civilians who died in the month-long conflict.
Here's her winning gallery on the BOP website.
