Veins: the life lines

Comment by posthumous:
I think it is disturbing in a good way. A good image should disturb the viewer, rattle his/her expectations. the striking composition, the way the veins are slightly out-of-focus even though they are the subject of the photo, disorient the viewer just enough to make him/her vulnerable, to open him/her up to a surprising intimacy with the subject. It's a little bit scary, as being alive should be. I, for one, did not worry about the child. Look at that face! Nothing could be more healthy.

Welcome to DPC.. where people's assumptions are law.

I'm sorry that something so fresh and vulnerable needed to be seen as something disturbing or horrific.

Human nature maybe, but for me, there are far better ways to word things than throwing in assumptions or outright negative opinions. (aren't attractive or something to highlight is an *extremely* subjective viewpoint.. could have been worded much more sensitively).

Anyway.. I'm ranting now, but it starts to get old in this community.

Cheers for having strength and courage with this shot, and showing a vulnerable moment that you obviously feel is something worth sharing.
