There are a number of really striking images that have come out of the BP environmental disaster, probably the only good or creative thing to come out of that disaster. I have used some of the more entertaining ones--while commenting on Pittsburgh, state and national races-- here and here.
I thought the reading public might be interested in the most striking images that I've seen. This is completely personal and arbitrary. You can suggest your own in the comments section.
I think the most effective image I've seen is the one that combines a famous Vietnam era photo of an execution with BP. It combines an anti war attitude with criticism of BP. Nice job.
I liked this one because of its originality.
The rest are all kind of slams against Republican Joe Barton's incredible apology to BP and the GOP proclivity to stick up for the well connected rich guy and that rich guy's lobbyist.

Great post. But they're not actually "stock images" -- these are all (awesome) graphic illustrations.
For those of us developing ads that encourage activists to support candidates and organizations that will hold BP accountable, finding (stock) photos that are effective and affordable has been really tough.
Images of oil-slicked seabirds, burning oil platforms, hazmat-suited cleanup workers, distressed shrimpers, etc. Each tells a part of the story, but it can be tough to find just the right one.
