This was one of the few 10's I gave, truly a powerful image. I wish her well.

Admireable, you put so much emotion in your photos. They have been my favourites for years now. While painful, photos like this are so important later. Live is all, birth and death, joy and pain. It's all part of it, you can not have one without the other. Thanks so much for sharing this and all the best to you, your mum and your family.

a nine from me, as well, jj. this was one of the handful of images in the challenge that i felt explored photography and was entered for the sake of photography rather than for the sake of scoring--and that's what i meant with my earlier 'bravo!' peace be with you, your mother, and your family.

Ah, JJ... I was very moved by this, didn't know if I was looking at illness or death, nor did it seem to matter, I thought, for surely the latter looms close. I gave two 10's in this challenge, and this was one of my 9's.

Fantastic work from a terrible spring. May God speed her to her rest.

I'll echo Cory's remarks. I lingered with this for awhile in voting but dare not comment, for it was too real and too raw. My thoughts and best wishes to both of you.

I was afraid to comment on this photo during voting for a reason im not sure of, it struck me emotionally at first as im sure it did most viewers. Knowing now that this is a real photo and not staged makes it so much more powerful. My prayers are with you and her for her recovery.
