I just loved this image it was so powerful and stopped me straight in my tracks among so many images because there were multiple symbolisms here but also some obvious reasons as the image is so poignant with its message not just anguish but also hope and faith beautiful messages in itself, so i love its symbolisms and forms of communication like here...thanks for entering....and Congratulations on first place!

I love this image for its "downwards" kind of feeling and the black and white processing too gives it a sense of depth i love the backdrop too, the outdoor urban feel, it addeded to the depth of the image the pose is picture perfect although he looks like a model and well kepmt he still looks blue and within his own anguish i think mens mental health is often overlooked and that makes this a powerful little image! And it was a pleasure to look into and take the time to reveiw

This reminds me of reverse psychology and the perspective is beautiful but also very painful and full of what i asked for anguish...as not many people touch this subject that photography can be both good and bad for your mental health and many people oversee this subject indeed they love to think of it as a positive thing but to enlighten the fact that "all those images" youve ever took over the years and all the hours editing "the edting it took" its a special self-portrait and theyre as important as portraits if not more as your baring your soul as an artist..so thank you it was truly a pleasure to reveiw thanks for entering

Such a lovely subject to highlight elderly abuse...its something much overlooked i assume as i dont see much of it in the news and its quite a powerful image nonetheless, im sorry to hear of your relatives fall, i can empathise on a serious note there...so i hope shes well too now, thanks for sharing such a sensitive subject on her behalf for her...as thats a hard thing to do at times...bare your soul as an artist but you did and for that i highly respect the image, thanks for entering it was much appreciated and a pleasure to reveiw
