In this cropped photo, One can see a soldier and a man, who appears to be pointing or doing something else mundane in nature. But as one can see below, this man is actually shooting someone. This very famous photograph taking during the Vietnam war has come to symbolize the harshness of war. But when cropped, the photo completely loses it's meaning. This is a very interesting example of the myth of photographic truth.
