Breeanna, bless her soul, helped me out with this one. Just a simple shot in the street, with flash, and a couple of props. I wanted fake blood, but I thought.. maybe that would be going a bit far. We'll have to see how people react. I don't even know if *this* will be too much for most voters or not.. let alone blood.
What more can I say? I can't imagine a more emotionally painful scenario for a parent.. or just for people that care about other people. Something like this has to tug on your heart-strings.. no? Unless you're completely desensitized by today's society.. and that could be too.

Hehehe.. great comments everyone. Enjoyed every last one of them.
1. Yes, we're bad actors... but hell, I tried.
2. Next time I have a good idea, I'm not going to hum and haw about it until the night of turnover, and then rush outside and snap off a quick picture. lol. But boy, did Breeanna and I have fun doing it.
3. No child was harmed in the making of this photo, but a couple of knees were. Ouch.
4. 20 comments on a mid-range shot. Not too shabby.
I know the feeling! When you wake your kid up at the crack of dawn to go out and learn to ride the bike and they just can't stay awake. Very frustrating! ;-)
although this is a very sad and painful situation, I'm just not feeling it from the models... Perhaps it's just me. The composition, lighting and clarity is great! I love the b/w. But it's his expression and I think I almost see a smile on the young girls face...
Tghis image is a little dark...I would have lit it well, then toned it down in post so we get a little more detail out of it. nice actors and prtty good ont he composition.
