The Greatest War Photograph and Capa

Capa’s  photograph “Falling Soldier” is considered by many to be one of the greatest war photograph of all times.  And it has been that way for nearly 80 years.  Yet about 40 years ago some photographers decided that they can prove that the photograph is staged and may not be as great as everyone thought it was.  Well what I see is that, whether that photograph was or wasn’t staged it DOESN’T change the fact that it was the first of its kind and truly considered one of the best.  So while some people are trying to prove that its staged and other to disprove them the photograph of “Falling Soldier” is still considered to be the greatest war photograph. I think that says it all, as long as people accept it as a true work of art and consider it to be the photograph to see, everything else doesn’t matter!
