| Powerful picture with a thought provoking message. Ive seen it before in your profile, but never stopped to take a look. Compositionally, the triangle formed by your son, and the inverted one formed by the boyes in the BG work well. NIce pic. |

i really love this powerful shot. at first glance, it made me want to cry. at second glance, it made me angry at the laughing kids.. and as i continue to look at it there are even more feelings i get from this photograph..
that's one thing that truly makes a photograph special - when it evokes emotion out of the viewer. |

I loved this shot long before I knew it was yours.... perfect!
I couldn't think of anything for this challenge. I imagine you're work with kids helped inspire this.

Sorry I haven't commented sooner hon, but I've been workin' through some issues. ;-) This is an awesome shot. Composition is spot on. Love the focus or I should say love the fact that the children in the background are perfectly unfocused. Love the bluish tonality. It makes the shot 'feel' sad. Very emotional.
You have hit on one of my favorite forms of post processing treatment. The duo- tri- quad-tone is such a powerful tool. Just by adjusting the tonality of a shot you can give it so many different feelings. If you changed this one redish for example you could change the feeling from one of sadness to one of rage. Try it!
I'm so glad to see that you have another ribbon in your collection. Gotta do some catchin' up now.
Yours always
TC
PS: Didn't vote or comment on this challenge. The subject matter is not one that appeals to me. I gotta queesy stomach... ;-)

I'm so tickled that this won. I was kind of apprehensive about submitting it but I thought it represented pain very well and was something that could be universally related to no matter where you're from. Working with kids for over 10 years in middle and high schools, I've see this kind of pain frequently. I'm glad that others could connect with my vision. Thanks so much y'all! :o) |

I didn't realize that I hadn't commented yet. One of the reasons I connect so well with this photo is that *I* was the poor kid in the foreground.. all through my school years.
It's a pain that doesn't fade easily, if ever. To this day, I become a nervous wreck around people that I percieve as laughing "at" me. |

| This is the best emotional capture of pain in the challenge. Nice bokeh, b&w composition and good ages for your subjects. Some DPC'ers may not like the background (cars, street, etc.), but I think that it perfectly captures the time and place for a memory that we all share from our childhood. Great job (9) |

one of the better ones I have come across so far.
too bad basic editing rules prevent burning... hot spot at the top is distracting.
great work, though. (8)
oop- coming back to bump to 9. this is one of my favorite 3 in the challenge, despite the technical issue I mentioned above. Aside from that one spot, the composition is great, and this more clearly conveys the *emotion* of pain than any other image in this challenge. |

Being laughed at - it is frequently more painful than sticks and stones: so there is a considerable amount of irony and some cruelty in the old ditty. This photo instantly evokes this idea. The bokeh is perfectly suited to the subject; less would cause us to be confused about the subject, but more would cause us to miss the sneering laughter of the people in the background. Hollywood would cast a more photogenic person as the hero - someone more people could identify with - but the casting here seems more natural, more realistic.
In a kind of photojournalistic sense this photo is almost flawless. Yet somehow it lacks a 'come hither' sensibility, a prettyness or photographic elegance. A really good effort! |

| Very effectively communicates emotional pain. Would like it better if the extreme background (the cars) were blurred to the point of not being recognizable. Still a ...9... on the strength of the subject - my top pick. |
