I can't imagine anyone didn't wince when they saw this shot. A great capture, well seen, well empathised.

Obvious flash .... more "ambient" lighting would have been better.
I can't discern what she is doing. Don't be offended. I love the idea I wonder what these hands trying to hold a teacup would have looked like. (weird thought...good picture though going with the title, depicting pain associated with the simplest of tasks.)

Nice sharp shot of the cat! Love the detail in the fur. It's hard to get that close with a cat shot (especially if you let the flash fire the first time.... I can't get near my cat with a camera now...) Don't think the desat really adds to the shot though...

Comment by Bran-O-Rama:
Image is in excellent focus but lacks any white, other than a few speckles of the eyes. In other words, the image is too neutral lacking any highlights. The current image looks perfect when autoleveled and given maybe +10 on saturation in PS.

Nice attempt, but it feels as if it's a work in progress and not yet complete. Just autolevel and the image jumps right out at you!

This would be a very good photo if it were not so dark. Just a little bit of editing could have done wonder for this photo and no doubt given it a much higher score.

A little brighter, and you would have a good Sunday Supplement photo.
