I found this image on National Geographic in their section of image of the day. This was from about a year ago in november 2009. I was really drawn to this because of the chaotic atmosphere depicted and then I looked in the center and whoa theres this one woman holding her child calmly, ignoring everything around her. I loved the exposure too, the tones are just perfect and the motion blur is just enough to leave me drawn into the woman's eyes, which are beautifully looking right at you.
