New York Times featured photo taken by an iPhone on cover?
This is an older article I just found in case you have seen it before. I can see why this caught so much attention, the photo is horrible. If NYTimes was looking to stir up emotions with photographers, I bet they did.

I don't care for this image at all 
Original:
Attempt to save it from instagram hell:
Honestly, the guy seems to know how to light and pose etc. pity he decided to do something crappy like use a freakin' iPhone just to be famous or for attention. The grain in the background is shocking and the effect just makes the people look like crap.
I think this is one of those things where "uneducated people" will think it looks cool (which explains the instagram filter fad) because they don't realise the WB is totally wrong and they're not looking at the grain etc. Though put it next to a better edited photo (exact same pose etc.) and they'll (hopefully) see what's so wrong with it.
One time a non-photographer friend and I had an editing competition. We edited a bunch of her photos and she showed them too her friends and family to compare my editing to hers (and get a vote). I won... quite easily... just sayin'
