I LOVE this image!

It's PERFECT for the challenge.

"The key word here is intolerance. It's simply everywhere, everyday. I don't think I need to be specific, but I can point out a few obvious examples: money, religion, sex orientation, skin color, nationality, education level, artistic tastes, etc. Everything is an excuse to start some kind of war, of crusade, against. Always against. Crush the rest to prove your value. Pathetic."

I wonder if some would think that your intolerance of intolerance is... well....

I love the message of the image... It's beautifully stark.

Hi, I'm new here and when I voted on your photo, I wasn't able to read the description? Any how, After reading your description I'll admit I like this picture a bit better. I agree with you about humans pretty much being worthless to the environment and world around us. I always say if all humans died tomorrow, the world and would thrive. If all insects died tomorrow, everything would die along with it. Makes you think. Back to your photo, I do like the composition and mood of it very much. My only complaint (and this is just my nit picky self talking here) is it doesn't look enough like a photograph to me. Obviously it is a photograph, but it looks so CGI to me. The people in the photo look cut and paste in my eyes. But hey, this is just my way of seeing this image. Obviously enough people loved it and it got a blue ribbon. So, I say congratulations to you! Even though this image was not my favorite, it is obvious that a lot of thought and work went into this image, so it is well deserved. Great job!

Your photo artwork is awesome. Your commentary from the 18th not so much. No one can tolerate anything they agree with. By definition tolerance is putting up with something that you don't agree with, not blind acceptance. The differences of people make us special, not our similarities.

Probable blue. So well thought out. Heart wrenching and eerie. Voted earlier. Top five.
