However, I'd like to express appreciation for the images that, in and of themselves, I enjoy.) The stunning unhappiness of this child is almost unbearable. We can only pray that it's not all like this, and there's a plenitude of light as well in his life. I don't know how to say anything more. No doubt a terrific photograph.

Rich always has a wonderful way of expressing what i can find difficult to put into words ..
the not rating this challenge .. i felt exactly the same ..
and about the child too ..

this is one photo i wont forget in a long time ..
to even have the confidence to take such a photo .. of someone suffering ..
that is what often distinguishes a good photographer from a great photographer ..
going where angels fear to tread almost ..

many congratulations on such a raw image .. and of course the blue ribbon .. :)

love that this got a ribbon .. GO JOHANNA .. !!!!! ..
this is wonderful ... and better the more i look at it .. if i'd sat and perused it longer during voting i would have given you a higher score .. many apologies for the 7 which should have been an 8 ..
a few seconds later .. it would have made no difference .. you would have ended up with the yellow either way ..
CONGRATULATIONS .. !!! .. xx

Prometheus and the Making of Man

thankyou so much for your words about how this image came about .. very interesting .. and lets hope our world evolves into the belief that all animals deserve our respect and care .. and we change our behaviour accordingly ..
i cant bear the thought of what animals go thru to end up on our plates .. just for one .. which is why i'm a vegetarian ..

anyway . massive CONGRATULATIONS on the blue ..
and i agree with margaret if those low votes were an agenda thing .. if not then we are all entitled to our likes and dislikes .. and i gotta say your image was quite confronting .. !! .. which i like btw .. :)
