If it's not too odd to say, "lovely work." I'm not sure this is, as you say, something we can all relate to, though perhaps most of us can at least cringe at the topic. Frankly I thought the blood put this into an extreme realm. Powerful nonetheless.

By the way, I love your color treatment. Good comp, too, and I disagree with those who think the man should be less prominent. I think your chosen DOF is right on.

What a great work, I love it. But agree with ASTONishing that it would be even better with shallower DOF.

I love this image =] And boo to the people who said it was too much. I appreciate you showing the real world, no matter how bad it can be. Photography shouldn't be all lady bugs and flowers, and this is beautiful!!

Comment by NapCat:
Thank You for the explanation of your motivation for the shot and for posting it. While the capture is technically great, the "image" is very disturbing. I applaud your sincerity in raising awareness to an ugly slice of real life and wholehearted agree that saving one person is worth all effort. I withdraw my very low vote (thought the image was for "shock" value).

Good Luck with your series !
