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.

Because it was a huge story this year. Dumb, but huge. Bunch of lunatics who thought the world was going to end cause this guy predicted it.

I don't know anyone who ever took it serious. It was a story because the lame street media decided to give him some credibility by talking about it.
