This image seems more sad than a celebration, but it is quite excellent nonetheless. The feeling I get is that this man is a widower remembering the date with sadness rather than joy. It is a powerful image showing the other side of celebration, which can be loneliness. It's an excellent, evocative image. Will it get the votes? Hard to say because of the iffiness of it's fitting the challenge theme, but it certainly is deserving of recognition.

really emotive photo. nice composition and use of shadow. the emotion coming from this for me, though, is more like mourning a loss (the shattered debris in the foreground, contrasted with the unbroken glass, and the position of the model). it's beautiful, but it feels sad to me.

Now this is a great photo. It really tweks a persons imagination. The decaying boards in background add an extra nice touch to this shot. Lighting is as close to perfect as you can get. Extremely well done. Deserves a ribbon finish.

If I understand this image properly, it's a very sad but very powerful moment, and a grown-up kind of celebration. Loss can be celebrated, too, and both subject and photographer have contributed to a moving celebration in this image. It's a finely judged composition, delicately exposed and processed. 8.

great picture but a very somber mood for a celebration. Did he lose his wife? And he is now celebrating her life? Well that is my interpretation and since it evoked such emotion in me "10"
