A Free Syrian Army fighter takes cover during clashes with the Syrian army in the Salaheddine neighborhood of central Aleppo on August 7, 2012. Photographer Goran Tomasevic says: "This rebel had been firing at the Syrian army when he came under attack from sniper fire, he was pulling back into a secure position when the picture was taken. I was next to him, on the ground, and shooting with a 20mm lens. The yellow dot on his head is a reflection from the camera lens."
