1. doesn't quite do it, but a good idea

2. OK relevant to the world situation

3. I've seen better

4. riveting

5. significant but doesn't stand alone without explanation

6. one of many like it

7. quite graphic - think about it

8. we see all too many of these

9. good idea, unusual, but the water just doesn't come across and the birds are not quite right - could be better but at least it's different

10. Bad, just doesn't make it

11. well I guess.....

12. the cow far outweighs the child, it's 'cow heavy'

13. one of many

14. a good, well planned photograph, good use of the rules of photography

15. one of many

16. one of so many the same

17. touching???? - too intimate for me - in this time and place - it's the public image that is important

18. without the speakers in the way it would be good, he looks strangled

19. Excellent - a good representation of that regime, well designed, structured and very clear

20. typical - and unpleasant - but relevant

21. cute? - but if only we could


22. great human interest, great couple, I love them both

23. quite good and relevant

This is going to sound terrible so I apologise in advance; because it's a picture of a covered Muslim woman, I auotmotically assumed it was related to human rights abuse.

However, knowing its context made me think it showed devotion.

I think it is related to human rights abuse, irrespective of its context, and I didn't find what you said offensive at all, I chose to feature that photo over others to show just how awful these things are, women throughout the world are still treated badly in comparison to men.

I read a book recently about Afghanistan and it really brought it home to me, but I always feel this way anyway, even in the western countries we see it quite regularly, if not this extreme abuse then some other.

It's good to have your views, I was surprised how little response there was to this from Orble, I thought many would rush to condemn this apparel.
