I see you got the Posthumous Blue Hand to go with your Yellow Ribbon. What pulls I think, is the sense of paralysis in his face, to go with the obviously suggested paralysis of his body. Overwhelmed? Restrained? But something suggests to me ... Uncomfortable, and that perhaps says more about him. Love, affection, can sometimes seem stifling.

Just out of curiosity, did you know the people? if not it would be great if you could get in contact with them and show them this shot, I am sure they would treasure something like this for a long long time.

Perfect candid, perfect capture. deserved ribbon.

It's been said by others already, but this shot is touching and natural and real in ways photography rarely manages.

You clearly have a great eye for opportunity, and a good instinct for when to push the button.

Congratulations on the ribbon.

Adding this to my faves!
