Against the wrackful siege of battering days

This image looks to me like a classic impressionistic painting ... the title, like the image, is creative, suggesting something beautiful fighting against the ravages of time. Good job!

As per my usual, as I am late in commenting I won't read others comments so forgive me if I am repeating what has already been said

When I first looked at this photo, I noticed the old man had a grumpy look on his face... my eyes then wandered over to the young boy and after looking back and forth between them I noticed he had a very similar look on his face...neither looks very happy at all ... it's like I am getting a look into the boys future.. hopefully not - nicely processed.

What a visual impact - I feel like I have gone back in time - everyting works ... the grain, the fog, the scattered figures... the sense that something is going to happen and I don't know if I want to be there when it does - wonderful shot,and great pp.

Well, The two kids in the b/g are certainly more interesting - the guys in the front have have had their days, they are slightly goofy in their presentation .. so when I just crop them out I see two kids, one goth, one semi norm and I hope for them a life filled with good things

After reading what you have posted, the child is the focal point of the shot.. he looks adorable and is happy and glowing - that's a given so let's look a litte bit deeper into this shot.. dad looks a little bit rushes.. why is that? well lots of reasons come to mind.. he is late to day care.. he is late to work .. whatever.. then there is the woman off to the left.. she is out of the light .. but not out of the shot.. is she the mom? she is not feeling as stressed.. she is just bopping along.. why is that? interesting is it not? use to be a man that would be not interested - now it is the woman... have we really come so far? leave it up to you all .....

I hope that you kept yourself safe during your photo taking dear man.. I remember voting on your shot ... but this takes it to a different level now that I know whom you are.. this is so real, gritty, and honest..the contrast is good .. your pp is excellent ... the immediacy of their action brings home the dangers.. keep safe please Iraklis
