A manufactured opportunity for a photo in this day and age? It's scandalous!
I appreciate the the thought, planning, and excellent execution of this image.
For the naysayers, please don't ever go to a commercial photo shot or video shoot. The shock may do you in.
:-)
This is great work. |

| Enzo, one of your best. Tells a haunting story even without the title. Immensely moving, made more so by your editing choices. Congrats! |

Generally speaking I would tend to agree with Jeffrey. However since I didn't see this until now I didn't confuse it for anything that it's not. It is a very convincing portrayal of historical significance and a well photographed one at that. Congrats on your red! |

Staged? Sure but it doesn't lessen its impact for me. I love the editing you've done here: it really adds drama to the shot and the placement of the hands works really well.
Congrats! |

Just brilliant - am only sorry I didn't think of it as I know some 'real' survivors, but they are getting fewer on the ground each year.
I'm pretty sure Spielberg didn't use genuine victims or even exclusively jewish people when he made Schindlers List. It was the message that was important then ...as now....never forget! Thank you. |

| So much story in those hands. Starting with the horror, but continuing to show that with strength, people can overcome that to have a marriage and a long life. And the hands could belong to anyone, so it tells the story of all survivors, not just this particular one. On top of that, the shot is lit and composed well. Thanks for sharing this! |

| Hard to comment on this. As a photo, I like the way the eyes are drawn to the hands first and then see the horrible number second. Nice tones, nice lines. 8 |
