 Just for the record, Its not me...

I was taking photos in Manchester and this guy came up to me and said, here take a picture of this and took his hat off...

It wasn't said with any malice, I think he just wanted to show the world he wasn't scared.

This was take a while ago now and I can't help wondering what became of him?

I'm kinda sad if got disqualified, I deleted the original (stupid!) by mistake, at least I think I did I couldn't find it... It might be "organised" into some sub folder somewhere never to be found again! :(

I have cancer myself so I can relate to this image entirely.

I like how you can see the imprint from the hat on his head (at least that's what I think I'm seeing.) Nice shot - worthy of a story on fighting cancer with a great attitude.

Great capture for cancer awareness. Looks like a photo from a medical journal.

Compelling and heart felt, you look to have a personal interest in your subject and that's not a bad thing when you're shooting human interest pieces. I like the tight shot and the intensity in his eyes. You can tell that he's a fighter and has a positive out look on life inspite of the chemo.

Your desaturation is nice and I like the slight colour on the ears and lips (at least I can see some colour on my monitor) it's a good edit for minimal and I hope you do very well with this shot. In my opinion, it is very well done.

I like your title. I wish there was more color to your image though. For me, your color values make it kind of a scary/spooky photo instead of celebratory as indicated by your title.

A great number of people, both sexes often wear hats or scarf to cover their hair loss to do Chemo. Tragic illness, very nice photo.

maybe, but a little too tight for something that would run A1 above the fold.
