I always wonder how such a "perfect" image was captured. Great job Somodevilla. This is an image for the history books.

Chip has always been a first-class news photographer, so I'm not surprised to see him showing his stuff here. I worked with him when the was at the Detroit Free Press, and he's just as classy as his photos. We need more folks like him in the biz.

Now that President Obama has won the nobel prize for peace, Mr. Somodevilla's picture is more important; When do the Pulitzers come out? This is such a moment (and so fleeting) that it might win the Pulitzer.
