Great Blue Heron

Helping Hands (C-Section)

I'm one of those for whom the sight of blood, even in the context of the miracle of a new little life, is disturbing. Looking beyond that, I find this a powerfull image. Think it would be better if processed as the mirror image, with the baby facing to the right. I read years ago that Westerners read from left-to-right and that photos that flow the other way are sometimes at a subconscious level disturbing to that audience, don't know if it's true, but just a thought. ...7...

Good b/w portrait, nice eye highlights and expression. I might have cropped to exclude the tire. ...7...
