Go to Life Magazine.

I remember a compelling picture of a mother , with her young children, struggling during the dust bowls of the 1930's.That picture wona Pultzer Prize too!!!!!
I'll try to find it for you ;)

Look at this compelling photo!!!http://www.life.com/Life/special/kiss01a.html

Today, August 14th, is V-J Day. That is when the United States learned that the Japanese had surrendered.

Take a look at this famous photo!!!

Any of the icon photos of the September 11th bombings. Any of the recent photos from the Israeli/Hezbollah war that shows a civilian in anguish. Those are guaranteed "compelling." A wildlife photo of parent and offspring ... and photo that instantly makes you feel some emotion.

Some examples:
