 I hope this image did not offend anyone. I tried looking for site galleries but could not find it. I even asked in Tips, Tricks and Q&A, and wrote to the Council, which Neil was very helpful. And yet, I could not find the site galleries. Once again, sorry about this.

Congrats on the ribbon. I think the photojournalistic approach helped sell the emotion. Very powerful image.

to be able to disturb the viewer out of their peaceful viewing spot and arouse a real sense of emotion isn't easy, but here you've completely done it. This is the essence of the challenge; you nailed it. Congratulations.

"Don't" apologize. This is art!

I don't know where you took this one but it is harrowing
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/23/2013 08:39:32 AM
That's powerful.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Wow, a truly emotional image if there ever was one, I personally think this should win hands down. 10
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/22/2013 06:26:52 PM
Definitely the most compelling of images I have seen to date. I have no idea where or when you took this photo, but even if it staged this person has managed to display the raw emotions normally associated with fear and submission.

Very nicely done... I do hope the voters will deem this worthy of the front page.

A 9 from me.

A truly emotional capture! My pick of the challenge.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Great. My ten for this picture but very disturbing.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/20/2013 05:09:14 PM
A powerful sense of emotion, coupled with a jarring framing and post processing make this my favorite of the challenge.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/19/2013 07:02:15 AM
I am really hoping this was a set-up shot. It makes for incredibly uncomfortable viewing, and provokes a powerful emotional response in me. It emits fear and anxiety in such strength.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/17/2013 10:21:07 PM
Excellent shot.

He looks very frightened! Nice image.

this is really disturbing.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/17/2013 01:06:55 AM
Wow. This is one of the very few pictures in this challenge that actually got a reaction from me. I think you could maybe have tried for a bit more light on the face, but the subject and capture of emotion was really well executed.
