There are so many which have impressed (and saddened) over the years:
the execution of a Viet Cong by a Vietnamese police colonel
Dorothea Lange's depression era mother and child
the little boy in the Warsaw ghetto, marching along with his hands raised
Biafrans queueing to join their army (shot with a 500mm mirror lens - 
stupendous design of a picture)
David Douglas Duncan's war pictures

and those that have cheered:
Helmut Newton's nudes
Cartier-Bresson's little boy with bread and wine
Robert Doisneau's kissing lovers

But my favourite:
Kashmiri women on a mountain side, 1948, by Henri Cartier-Bresson - superbly 
seen, beautifully photographed and printed.  Many versions have been cropped 
before printing, which is a massive insult to HCB.
