First off I have to say the lighting and set-up of the scene is technically excellent. Now comes the hard part - it is hard to say if this falls into the strong candidacy of sadness. The image itself speaks of fear and abuse very strongly. The sadness comes from your audience reaction to the image. Yes, looking at the scene, it makes me sad - Knowledge of the numbers of child abuse are too high and it's heartbreaking. But again the image itself does not contain sadness but it does very effectively evoke a reaction of sadness. It's a great photo and I do hope it finishes well. (not voting)

Provokes more fear than sadness to me. I know the situation is sad but the photo says fear. Sorry. Good luck.
