I like your composition, the flame and paper against the black background. Very effective. Your explaination of the headlines as well as the process used to make the photo makes this even more interesting. -- Chris

Hi Simon,
There were two texts talking about the Pope’s agony and his sufferings and another one concerning the death of Terry Shiavo. I would have preferred the front page of the unilateral US Iraqi invasion but I used what I had at the time I did the picture. You can see the entire front page here

Yes it is a composition. I shot the picture outside between two downpours(?rain?) but it was a cold and pretty windy evening. The newspaper burnt without any flame!!!! So I used the flames from another picture. The result is exactly what I had in mind and I like it.
Thanks,
Stéphane

A striking and powerful image, Stéphane. I'd like to know if the text on the newspaper is poignant and if this is a composition?

Just outstanding Stephane. I agree with Jerry. The clarity of your low light photo and poignant statement, along with the perfect choice of song...what can I say??! Linda
