Beautiful images and big contrast in the feelings provoked.

I am afraid this other awarded photo is, again, a bit shocking, albeit also beautiful in a weird fashion. I was not even sure about posting it and yet, some of its characteristics - for example, a peculiar "central" focus, actually two of them, mother and child, without a center proper - somehow make it one of my best favorites in the contest.

Actually Miguel,

I agree.

I really like it.

The light from the window has that Dutch Master feel.

After all. Everyday life is just what needs to be recorded.

It really is an interesting photo.

Some of these photos are truly disturbing, heartbreaking. Some of these I wish I had never seen.

Another disturbing photo - at least for me. The suffering of the bull after the prolonged torture is evident in the look in his eyes. They not only express extreme misery but sheer perplexity, as if the poor beast were asking its cruel executioner, "What have I done you, why are you killing me? ¿And who are all those devils watching us?"

I can perfectly understand that, Jo; I myself wish I had never seen some of those photos. And for all their artistic worth, I, like Roger, will never understand the horror they depict. To me, if there is any real merit in producing and widespreading them, it precisely resides in their efficacy as eye-openers through the fascination they exert.
