Absolutelly great image, powerful subject, great moment, great capture. Congratulation..!

Tired Iraqi Faces 8.

Selene is an Iraqi nun,working in a church school for nuns,after 2003

the students became less and less ,most the Christians families have

left their houses and immigrated outside and inside the country ,some

of them have left their old family members mostly women who can not

take the effort of the journey either because of their old ages or

because their families can not afford the expenses.

Selene was asked to accept those who left behind under her care in the

nun school and she was accepted ,Selene with a younger nun have showed

me twelve of those whom she took care of in the church school to

offer them some help from my office,mostly diapers and crutches.

The least to be said about Selene is that she is one of those tired

Iraqis.

Touching scene!

A moving story and image.  Thank you for sharing.

The two very different looks on their faces are so effective in telling the story that you related in words.

Saad,

As usual, here' s another very impressive shot taken at the right time with the right technical criteria.  While selene' s taking the old lady's pulse with her right hand in total concentration, the old lady' expression is of serenity and trust.  Good images on compassion and warmth are always admirable.  This is photography with a worthy message.  Very best wishes,  Bachir

An appreciable photograph of human expressions. Very good BW treatment. Best regards.

What to say . . . . . I can't say here. The photograph is  excellent  in many way.

Cheers.
