I was taking photos in Manchester and this guy came up to me and said, here take a picture of this and took his hat off...
It wasn't said with any malice, I think he just wanted to show the world he wasn't scared.
This was take a while ago now and I can't help wondering what became of him?
I'm kinda sad if got disqualified, I deleted the original (stupid!) by mistake, at least I think I did I couldn't find it... It might be "organised" into some sub folder somewhere never to be found again! :(

brave and excellent image! I like how you positioned subject in the frame...
good luck with your battle..it feels a long & arduous road, I can only imagine; but hair grows back & hopefully the poison will do its job and your life will go on long & happy!!
I like how you can see the imprint from the hat on his head (at least that's what I think I'm seeing.) Nice shot - worthy of a story on fighting cancer with a great attitude.
Compelling and heart felt, you look to have a personal interest in your subject and that's not a bad thing when you're shooting human interest pieces. I like the tight shot and the intensity in his eyes. You can tell that he's a fighter and has a positive out look on life inspite of the chemo.
Your desaturation is nice and I like the slight colour on the ears and lips (at least I can see some colour on my monitor) it's a good edit for minimal and I hope you do very well with this shot. In my opinion, it is very well done.
I like your title. I wish there was more color to your image though. For me, your color values make it kind of a scary/spooky photo instead of celebratory as indicated by your title.
