Baghdad Blitz
Description
This image looks over Baghdad as it is under attack from the air. The attacking planes are lit and cut by the beams of several spotlights which scan the sky. These rigid beams cut the image with harsh lines, which are echoed on the ground to highlight the turmoil and danger of the moment.
