 The homeless dogs in the Bahamas are a very sad story (1 street dog for every 4th resident) and I set out to capture a couple of pictures for my personal collection I'm building as well as this competition, I stumbled upon this poor girl on the side of the road. I think she got hit by the way her body was twisted (can't be seen here as this is probably the least heart-sickening picture in this set). Wasn't easy taking the picture and I'm sure it will get a lot of flak, but I'd be lying if this isn't one of the major "unseens" around here.

I think this was one of the best approaches to the challenge, an was my personal favorite. You did a great job creating a powerful image. I think it's just too bad that people seemed to vote it on the same level as other "roadkill" pictures.

You are very courageous for submitting this. I'm sure you'll get some very negative reactions... but sometimes we must see what we'd rather not.
