Chris, you know that I'm a fan of a lot of your images and I think you're a good guy. I just don't think that this is art. If it were actual photojournalism, it make a strong statement. As it stands, it only feels gratuitous. On the other hand, if you are asking for some help, give me a holler and I'll get you that help as fast as I can possibly get it to you. All the best, Nancy

And Nancy, it's not uncool to not like an image. I'm glad you spoke up :-). -- Chris

That's OK Nancy,
It doesn't touch the "feel good" emotions, but from your strong response, it did communicate to you. Just not something you would prefer to hear, as is with most people (including myself, it disturbs me also). Unfortunately, it is a reality we must always be aware of in those around us lest we never see the signs.

Chris, I don't much like being uncool, but I gotta say I hate this imagery :*( --Nancy/odigi

Wow! Very nice composition (“mise en scène” in French, I don’t know how to say it in English…). Your picture is talking to me and I can feel the sense of tension.

Dark and disturbing. Great font for "pleading". Good to see an image which raises something terrifying yet everyday in or society. Fremiet
