So brave. I will admit that the story helped me to get past my initial reactions about this picture (I only give it a 5 in voting, for technical merit mostly). I feel it's deserving of the award both for the subject it portrays and the simple fact that you were able to portray it so honestly. Congratulations and all the best to you, both in photography and in health. I'll be looking forward to more of your sunsets.

Congrats for your blue! I will read your story later! I gave you a 7 by the way. I wish i could see that in B&W and maybe even a heavier pp.
Congratulations again! Keep the good work!

Well, I guess I'll have to order your Snuggie in Royal Blue!

On a serious note, this photo speaks volumes and bluntly communicates a rather universal message of the modern day process of approaching our golden years. If art is about eliciting an honest heartfelt response from your audience...you definitely earned this well-deserved blue from the jury.

I am glad I bumped up the score I originally gave this. After reading the story behind it and seeing all of the comments on this, I really think this should be the winner hands down. This is an image that has stuck with me and it is one I won't likely soon forget. Well done.
