Full Tiananmen Square photo

I think in this version the soul man to stand up to the tanks loses the individual appeal and evocation of empathy in the viewer.
BUT it does show the perspective of 1 man against an army.

So, if I was curating a display, I’d use both images, with the first drawing the viewer in, and the second for perspective.

Agreed. Both versions miss something. The larger photo diminishes the humanity of Tankman, but the smaller photo fails to show just how crushing and inevitable the force of the state was.

Overkill

that didn't happen

ignore that it is photoshopped and tottaly "never happened"
