I disagree with both. I think they all deserve to be there. Could there be some other photos that make it? Possibly.

But they all have brilliance in artistic photographic skill. They sort of all tell their own story too. Powerful images.

The caption says he predicted the end of the world to be May of 2011. Not sure why that's a powerful image either.
