Very powerful and dramatic.
The barbed wire and the hands tell a story.
Whether or not this was propped is of little importance
You created an image that has depth.

Excellent photo. Black and white photography really works well with your piece. It intinsifies your image, I don't think you need anyone to tell you this. The feelings of this subject are so strong. Thsi should be 6 stars.

This is a glorious piece! I cannot express just how breath taking it really is to me... Being in B/W adds so much to the effect. Very well done!

Hey, it is powerful picture! I look at it as Jesus's crown that he got it when he went to cross. The thorn is not funny because it is painful but JESUS accepted it for our sins! Good job on creative!

This picture puts you in the mind of the holocost for some reason. The hands seem as though they are really reaching out for freedom as the jews did in the camps. It sort of gives you cold chills to look at this picture. It really makes you think. Great job.

An amazing black and white of everyones struggle. It brings forth many emotions of today and yester-years. People struggle for freedom, struggle to survive, a very powerful message in this shot...

Not the most original photo in the world but I suppose everythings been done somewhere before... A little more light on the hands/arms would have improved it a lot. Overall it's really good!

Thanks again, I get lighter, darker, and just as it is a lot. I am curious where you've seen it before, I'd really like to see other versions of my theme. I'm glad you really like it, it's won me some great prizes recently. The latest being still displayed as Black and White of the month at digital image caf

Incredibly powerful picture!! Very moving. Gives a strong fealing of a struglle between captivity and almost freedom. Very well done. I wouldn't change a thing about it.

This is a very interesting photo, when today freedom is a valuable item to some third world countries. It shows that if you want freedom you can reach for it.
