Of the millions of images made by photojournalists throughout the year, only one is recognized by World Press Photo as the best.

An Italian freelance photographer won the top prize in the World Press Photo competition Friday with an image of a woman shouting her protest at the results of the Iranian presidential election from a Tehran rooftop at dusk.

Judges said Pietro Masturzo's image was beautiful and captured the tension and emotion of the moment, as the protests were gathering strength.
