Surgery room - This is the door of a surgery room in a hospital in Sao Paulo - This writing means "surgery"

I find this to be an incredibly powerful photo. I was attracted by the colors and composition which draw the eye to the fatigued, perhaps despondent figure. I wanted to know what was going on.... and you're title provided the answer to that. Excellent work.

Paulo:

I appreciate your kind words. In fact, there are many very exceptional portolios on Photo.Net. In the three weeks or so that I've been exploring the site, I've been blown away by Anna Pagnacco, V. Bice, Ben Gossens, Fred Vnoucek, Jim Vanson, Dirk Westfall, emil schildt, Jörg Gründler, Jan Jensen, Ilona Wellmann and many, many others. I've learned an enormous amount by studying their work -- and, equally important, I've received a great deal of inspiration. If I have anything to teach, it's merely to keep an open mind about photography and the photographic image. Try to avoid formulas and putting things into neat boxes -- it's the only way I know of to keep your eye, and your vision, fresh and creative. Good luck, Jim

Another very powerful image Paulo.

What a filthy surgery door! Perhaps made during the Paraguay War!
