Mom being wheeled to her room at Bozeman Deaconess Hospital after being admitted on one of her worst days to date.

Edit: After a few of these comments were left I straightened and cropped the image. I really like how these changes affected the composition. Thanks for the tips!

This is SUCH a moving image. Just one of those shots that takes most viewers to a place they've never been!

In terms of technicals: may I offer up the suggestion that you might want to straighten the image. Have you downloaded Picasa off the internet? Great basic editing tool (but remember to save all changes or else you may lose your original if you are wanting it later).

I might also crop it down to just above the silver ball/eye so that the image of you and others and that gaping passage are more dominant (meant to be in the picture).

A Brave and brilliant challenge you and your mom have taken on!!!

This an excellent shot and heartbreaking at the same time for obvious reasons. It takes me back to late 2005 when my Nan fought her own (sadly unsuccessful :-( ) battle with cancer. Is the lady in the picture your Mother?

I think it's great that you've taken time out of your studies to be with her. Treasure all the moments you have with her.

And welcome to the world of DPC :-)
