Lying in the burnt out shell
Of some Albanian farm
An old Babushka
Holds a crying baby in her arms
A soldier from the other side
A man of heart and pride
Breaks ranks, lays down his rifle
And kneels by her side
He binds her wounds
He gives her food
And calms the crying child
She gives him absolution then
Across the great divide
He picks his way back through the broken
China of her life
And there at the kerb
The Samaritan Serb turns..
Turns and waves.. goodbye
Each small candle
Lights a corner of the dark - Roger Waters

i think it should have been a bit darker overall, this would add some contrast and really add some emphasis to the light coming from the window. and i think this will really bring this shot to life and make it a 'wow' shot.
Very strong composition. Subject matter has plenty of punch. Colors and levels are good. Focus could be a little sharper. And if your camera can handle it, a larger image would have been even more effective.
