Comment by Cutter:
I have made comments before about disturbing images for the sake of disturbing images and how this motive...to push the boundaries let's say...are ultimately self-centered actions for being progressive and unique. You however (and maybe it is because through your photography and comments) aren't this sort of man. This is one of those rare images that although blatantly disturbing, carries with it a heavy, important message. As you said many probably suffer more than this man, perhaps in the soul, but that doesn't take away from the fact that for an instant or forever, someone like this can change the way we look at the world. bobdeveant said, "I try to believe that God has a reason for everything that happens to us, I dont know the reason for this terrible tragedy." Well, I agree with the first part, but believe the answer is clear for the second. When we look at absolute beauty or unbelievable horror, more times than not we turn to God with questions, with thankfulness or for answers. And that is the purpose: for us to turn to God regardless. Through your image, you may help someone think deeper about life and God.

Beautiful shot in so many ways, contrast, model, setting etc. etc.. Model’s eyes draw you into this shot, natural feeling and lighting make it one of my top picks for this challenge. Very well done, 10!
