By now, we should be well aware of the technical considerations that determine a photograph, such as aperture, shutter speed, lens selection, and camera types. You should also be familiar with the categories of the"Visual language."
So, what can your determine in looking at these three iconic images? Depth of Field, motion control, focus, lens selection, visual language, etc.

Eddie Adams won the Pulitzer Prize for for his picture of a Viet Cong lieutenant being executed at close range on a Saigon street by a South Vietnamese general.
