I think this photo has an excellent meaning and you hit the nail on the head it has good composition and the B/W did it justice. Nice Work.

Comment from Goya


It's a very beatifull work, very professional.
I love a lot the atmosphear of it, looks a bit 20ies to me, or a picture of one of the Hitchock movies.

Expecting to see more of your works.
Take care :)

Comment from Papa


Rack, this appears to me to be an inadequately exposed photograph of an unexciting room. And, your caption, which is part of the piece, is poorly worded. To what exactly does the 90% apply? If this image is to aid the fight against domestic abuse and to protect children, certainly I admire your efforts. But, that is not the point here. My comments are related to a piece of art, which is inferior.
Peace, Papa

    Thanks for your review. I may experiment with different text in the future as I intent to improve this piece. It does work better within the context of the other four images of the series rather than on its own and although the room may sem boring it is pointing out the fact that domestic violence happens in the most 'normal' looking home.

I am noticing some color shift in this photograph - since you have worked on it in photoshop, you may want to set it to grayscale to get rid of all the color so when you resize and compress it, color won't be interpolated back into the image. Powerful message, good framing, I like how it is from a child's perspective.
