Mickey Mantle, 1965
To be at the top of your field as an athlete, you have to stay in top condition and consistently produce results. Unfortunately, it appears Mickey Mantle could not do this. He was a legendary center fielder, but his career steadily collapsed.

As can be seen at the time of this photo taken by John Dominis, Mantle’s frustration was already clear in 1965. It’s interesting how much more profound a photo can be with context.
Kim Novak, 1956
Often times when a room is packed with men, and a woman enters, she becomes everyone’s focus. This is something of a social phenomenon, but photographer Leonard McCombe managed to capture such a moment perfectly.

The woman pictured is Kim Novak at a 20th Century dinner sitting among men in suits. The photo clearly shows the hold she has over them. It certainly is an interesting picture with the context, and a great photo too.
