Eeew!! But this is an excellent photo. Perhaps you should get a job for a CSI department somewhere!! I like the contrast of the red underwear and blood on the B&W photo.

Very moving!! I hope this was set up and it\\\'s not really a funeral pic. The woman\\\'s hands are great - the lines show that she has lived a life that has not been completely free of cares. This pic is a 10 from me!!

This child does not look like she would understand despair, may be she is upset, but she has a family who loves her and in all reality she is happy.

Thanks for the comments - I know it was a bit soft in focus, but I came down with the flu and had taken this shot early in the week and I did want to participate.

With regards to the comment about the "Sparkle of Life" missing .... he just woke up - usually is moving at about 100 miles an hour and I can't get a photo at all. So he was a bit drowsy from his nap, hence the missing sparkle.
