Cerebral parese

It makes one stop and think - and that alone already makes it in my view a very good photo.

Both photo and title have a brutal straightforward simplicity which works well for me. It informs, without trying to generate false sentiments - it is what it is, and that's strong enough a story. As said, it inspires to think a while (both about one's own blessings as well as hardships for others).

The only miniscule point, photographically, would be the background, especially the upper left corner; I'd make it completely black (there is some tiny detail there now) - but by all means, this is a miniscule point that hardly detracts from the strengths of this photo.

You are, of cause, right. The small blemish (witch I think is part of the guys bed covers) doesn't add anything to the image and would not be missed if it was not there.

My own history with this is - I work at a place like this everyday and has done so for over 10 years. Seeing things like this has become somewhat natural. But ever so often it strikes me, how I ought to react if it was the first time I saw it. These epiphany's are often comforting and assures me, that I still are alive and able to be compassionate.

Thanks for watching

This is a very moving image, dear Svend Erik.  Apart from the human dimension, I also enjoy the rich tonal texture. (Also many thanks for your supportive comments on my potfolio). Kind regards, -h.

This image goes a long way with me as it hits home very strongly, my youngest daughter now 37, was born without her left arm, 30 % above the elbow shape amputation. And since the age of 21, I have work with souls with all kinds of disabilities. I am 64 now and have work as a school counselor for the last 18 years.I resonate with your compation for others and the introspect you are capable to experience after 10 years of involvement with "children of a lesser God". I am glad to have discovered your images and your humanity. Warm regards from Miami.

Thanks Jorge - your comment left me speechless.
