Combatting the Big Silence: AIDs is Killing Africa

Comment by posthumous:
great shot. Wonderful use of layers to tell a story. As with my other ribbon picks, this photo is beautiful regardless of the challenge. But it also fits the challenge perfectly. I could easily imagine this in a weekly news magazing or the cover of the Times (not that this story would make the cover of the Times, sadly).

Posthumous Yellow Ribbon

a story that needs to be told. I'm not 100% sure I'd have used this particular image to tell it but it's a very good photo nonetheless

Great shot! I think this one would look good in both B&W and color.

We are compelled to look past the door and into her eyes. This is the type of shot that sells newspapers. I love the split division of field and the contrast of the images on either side os the door. The tones and colour are (I feel anyway) right for the shot and work well for me. You have a great shot on your hands to tell the story you have started. Best of luck. I think that this should make the top 10 or better.

Didn't realize aids in africa was any sort of secret or being kept quiet, but nice shot.
