"ORPHANED IN AN INSTANT"

Anton Berkovich

This photo, by Chris Hondros, struck me as the most powerful of the images, though all were amazing in their own way. What I liked about this image, besides the detailed and thorough cutline, was the amount of emotion that the subject displayed in the photo. Without even reading the caption, I was saddened by the photo. The soldier's lighting creates a unique feel to the photo, and the fact that his or her face is hidden struck me as symbolic, even if it was unintentional by the photographer. Though the subject of the photo is extremely saddening, the photo itself is stunning in its content and delivery.
