A very nicely composed and presented image. The use of selective color is attractive and the subject really tells the story. Good luck in the contest.

You have posted quite an impressive final image here. Those fingers and finger nails seem to be oozing with the desire to get out of that cage! Your shot is well composed, sharp and has good exposure. Well done and good luck!

This is truly unique and off the chain Emotive. The focus on his finger tips sticking out of the cage really tells the story with no words needed. Your focus is so sharp we can see his fingerprints. :)
I like your choice of selective color keeping our eyes focused on his fingers and showing the reality of his life behind bars.
Impressive capture and superb entry for this contest.
Good Luck!

I think this image is the definition of the power of photography and creating a picture that speaks a thousands words. It is thought provoking and artistic. I enjoy the originality of your POV and of course, your camera techs are perfect, providing rich detail with attractive lighting. I think this work reveals a part of who you are and I enjoy the glimpse of a beautiful soul.

    Grace, you are so kind with your words. I do try to see the world around me the way in other ways than just looking. Thank you very much for your very generous rating.

    I really mean what I say :)
    I think too many people spend too much time just looking and not enough time seeing. I really do enjoy your photography!

Hi Anon

What a haunting image this is with the digits of the animal poking through the mesh of the cage forlornly. I love how all that can be seen of the animal are its pleading digits. All the best in the contest. R
