I find all of them moving, but I have to say that to me, a more moving photo would be of something I can relate to more personally.
That being said, the Napalm Strike photo with the naked little girl is very distressing and I have always felt quite horrified by the image since I first saw it. I think it's because her expression is so intense, apart from the context of the image itself.
The last photo with the vulture is quite sickening.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
