Positives:
Strong image. The composition, color and lighting are all good.
Suggested Improvements:
Make things a bit more clear in terms of the story you're trying to convey. The wording on the title has me confused to be honest. Did he lose a son/daughter that was his "life"?
Also, as a news worthy image having more of the guys face (assuming the story is about him) would have been better. As is this makes for a good emotive image but one that is too abstract for a particular story since we can't ID the person. That's probably the reason why this scored as low as it did because everything else suggests a much higher score.
Summary:
Strong image but one that may have suffered for being too vague.
