One of your best photos. It touches my soul. Besides that I feel that you succeeded well to express that story behind the photo. It's perfect, technically, but most important, emotionally. I don't know what it's like to be in a weelchair, but I do recognize myself in the title. It was a long road for me to get me where I am now and enjoying life again after I lost everything I loved in a short period.
I'm going to add this one to my favorites. Sometimes you see a photo that touches your soul everytime you see it and this is definetely one of those. |

| I've come back to this shot a few times now: it has a relentlessness that I really like P. The fractional inclusion of the house is great - it took me a while to really sense that, but after some thought it really works - I think anything more prominent would be too easy and therefore less apt. Very communicative - there's a strong sense of ... well, maybe not pride exactly, but perhaps of challenge - like 'yeah, I know, you're thinking about my chair. ever thought about me?' kind of thing. Whatever; it's a proper portrait. |

Wow, P.
I didn't see this one in voting, but yeah. Wow. This is good, both photographically and...emotionally? Is that the word I want?
Ah, who knows.
But I like it, and it MEANS something, which is so awesome, AND it's well done on top of it all. :) Powerful. Maybe that's the word I was looking for...

It's one of those shots that make you think... and one of those that renew the joy of taking pictures to tell a story. First place for me.

| I love this picture. I think that you aligned the subject perfectly. And I just love the leading lines leading to the subject. I can definently tell where the focus is in this photograph. This is a perfect wide angle picture, and the black and white just adds to the image. Oh, and the message is so powerful, it makes me weep inside. BEAUTIFUL JOB! |

| Your picture well represents the title. I wonder if he didn’t stop to pose and was wheeling the chair or even if he has going the other way wouldn’t add to this picture. Anyway, well done! :o) |

| Strong & Compelling image, marred noticeably by two things: the house on the right is screaming out for some breathing room so it can take its rightful place as a counter-element, and there's a noticeable sharpening (or contrast) halo around the figure that really hurts. On a more contemplative note, I'm not 100% sure the pure, central symmetry of this shot was the correct choice. I'm not against symmetry per se, I use it a lot msyelf, but in this case the image seems to speak a little more strongly to me if about an eighth or a fifth of the image is cropped off, all that the bottom, to give it a much more hoeizontal orientation; this seems to emphasize the emptiness better. It's a gut-call though. Nice shot! Bumping you up. |

| Beautifully done, and powerful message. Only nit-picky details are the the house on the far right, and the excessive sharpening around the model. 8 |

| This looks like one of those shots that should have some sort of motivational message printed on it. Very nice job. I like the way it tells a story. I wouldn't be surprised to see this with a ribbon, or at the very least in the top 10. It's a 10 from me! |

| good choice on not using color in this picture, it enhances the overal photograph. i like how you put the subject right in the center, it brings focus to him only, especially with the lines that lead up to him. I really like this picture! |

| Great shot - very provocative. The house on the right could go IMHO and there is quite a distinct halo around the man - is that from sharpening? Great vision. |

| Perfect tone, lighting and leading lines, subject placement etc... Possibly over use of USM, but I can tell fro sure, so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. After voting on all photos, this is 1 of 2 I gave a 10 to. Congratulations. |

| There is a slight glow around the man, maybe too harsh on the USM threshold, or possibly resizing to a low res image? I tend to be leniant on possible resizing errors and sharpening and such for small files. Regardless, I like this the best in the challenge, and I have voted on a lot so far. Excellent entry, and I hope you get a ribbon. Nice work. |

You make me wet inside Pedro.
It's pictures like this that make we want to go take photos. I love the centered composition and you better be getting a high score or else.
This is like jjbeguin meets your mom.

| Normally, I don't like the subject to be dead center, but this certainly works. Great use of filter too. The house over to the right is a nice added touch. Wonderful subject and title. The sky surrounds him like a beautiful blanket! Bravo 9 |

| Strong message... maybe the person could have been closer to the camera for a less centered composition. Don't know about the house on the right, it draws my eyes away from the center. |
