Here's a bit more information and background about one of the 20 pictures that make up the Pulitzer Prize for breaking news photojournalism.
There's a discussion of the technical aspects of the photograph, which was interesting considering that I'm still learning the photographic arts. Then, there's a discussion over the ethical situation posed by the photo and its use as a piece of successful lynching propaganda.

Wretchard has more bloggy goodness on the AP position regarding the photos.
The big question is why has it taken so long for the AP to craft an explanation that appears to be governed by the facts and images captured, plus the laws of physics?
