Great shot! I can feel the emotional charge in his prayers. In his entire pose I can feel his quest for mercy. In the upper right corner of this picture, we can see a collapsed part of the background building. Impressive!

Knowing the width of the tragedy, I look at your picture with respect. Thanks for sharing with us this snapshot of a terrible event. Hope is now in survivors’ hands.
