A powerful (and possibly point affecting) statement. I think color would have been okay here, but it also works well in b&w. Good composition, and I like the way she is looking away and holding her hands. Actually - the photo makes not so much of a judgement which works well (ie. I can't tell if your for or against). Nice work. Well balanced.

I love the way the starkness of the sign really jumps out of the image. This is quite a confronting composition that doesn't lose track of the vulnerability and humanity of the subject. I think the isolation and vulnerability of the subject creates an emotional depth that transcends the impersonality the debate.

this image really makes one think. it goes beyond the cliche 'which pair of shoes' type of photograph and really makes you look at all the details... the pregnant girl, posed perfectly off-center, the locked door and notice on the door that show how dangerous it can be to provide a controversial service...black and white certainly fits for this image, as the decision faced by the girl really is black and white, either choosing life, or death for her unborn child. a powerful image, a perfect 10 in my eyes.

Very affecting, done perfectly. I hope you don't get any backlash from personal sentiments. I think this is one of the few really interesting entries for this challenge.

This pict. says a lot...The B&W really works, but it appears just a little soft. I like the off-set of the model and the pose she has taken...Well done
