That was the first word that - literally - came out of my mouth when this photograph appeared on my screen. IMHO, this photo is the epitome of the proverb "A picture is worth a thousand words." Technically - very well done; controversial - absolutely; moving - very much so (to me at least). The granade is perfect: soldiers would be too personal (and the individual soldiers didn't start this war), a gun (or guns) would be too specific (guns need to be aimed), a bomb would be too big, too distracting from the rest of the story. As far as telling a story or presenting a point of view, this photo is perfect. It makes one think. Now I normally try not to heap praise on photo bloggers I like because I do not want to sound like a "fan" or a "groupie." But, after this photograph, I must break my silence. So, here goes: thank you for your efforts, for sharing your knowledge and experience, your tips, your lighting diagrams, explanations and your sytle. Your site is on my "Home Page" and I'm always excited to see a new post. If you decide to start doing small (8-12 person) seminars or workshops, and if I get enough advance notice to schedule the time off and travel arrangements, I'll be there. Thanks again. Wow.

I enjoy reading more than what I think I'm already seeing. It's a great image. Thanks for explaining the thought behind the artistic concept.
