Well said Brandon. This is a perfect photo for this topic.

I keep being drawn to that expectant belly.
Always a miracle to me!I've seen lots of people with missing parts,but I feel that this is one brave woman.I hope she gets to see her grandchildren!

Beautiful

Dure et beau....

Due to my work, I see this almost every day. A lot of women are 'warning' me for, what they call for themself, ugly body. They don't realize it's part of my job and I see it multiple times a day.

I see these women (and don't forget: a breast tumor can also be found in a man's breast) from the beginning when they have both their breast and coming for their first mammography and later on. So many people, so many ways to cope with it.

Images like this help to get people concious about the need for checking your breast every month. Furthermore it's also helpfull for women (and men) who did had a breast amputation and feeling accepted in society, they don't have to feel 'ugly' anymore.

Ricardo, you did a good job with adding this photo on Vazaar. It's isn't shocking, it is reality.

Nice one !
Great you got no lens flare with that type of contre-jour...

Perhaps we should start our own theme?

Superb, very dynamic. There is so much to like about this picture.

Thank You

Wow! its beautiful.

I love the contrast of emotion. You move from the girl with her emotional intensity to a beautiful quiet street scene in the back that is nicely blurred. Great shot!

I think this one would work great in urban art too!
I love the colors and how i feel like i am walking down this street. Where was this taken?

This was taken in Lisbon at Bairro Alto. It is a neighborhood known for its nightlife and culturally very active, with art schools, bars, shops, restaurants and discos. Hence the puzzle of posters on the wall.

Thank you all.

Wonderful shot - instant fave!

Cheers,
Jon

Wow!

Are those real people or mannequins?
They look like mannequins.

Those are mannequins

Very cool, seats in a cafe/diner??

I like. I find your photograph very dynamic. Moreover, I am sure that it is you who with writing the RV on the engine; I laugh, it is with you to say it to me. Greetings.

Just a lucky coincidence...

Spike, the cyclops vampire dog attacks!!! One of those happy accidents, I suspect? Nice one.

Ok, I'd like to know the story here. Waiting for a plane and taking a nap? Perhaps he's a germ-a-phobe. I'm not entirely sure he has hands either!

Very good photo for the topic!

This shot was taken at 5:30am in Lisbon's International Airport. There were several travelers sleeping in many strange positions but this one shouted "bizarre", so I took it!

Great shot!! My only comment would be to correct the white balance a little for the fluorescent light.

I thought of that but instead preferred to enhance that fluorescent tone. Almost as if it was cross processed.

Wow, very brave portrait, on many levels.

The young girl at the breast seems to be kissing in acceptance of the obvious. The joy on her face reminds me of the blissful state of a baby while nursing.
