The first thing that grabbed me about this picture was the impact. There was a story the moment I laid eyes on this.
The perspective and hard lines give a feeling of desolation and dispair that seems to surround and enclose the soft lines of the figure. Great composition.
Without even knowing the story, my heart goes out to this person.
Pictures of people in the midst of hard times are everywhere. This one says mountains to me about what many are going through with everything in the mess it is at this time.
It's concise, to the point and non-cliche.
