 This is a man I keep seeing at the nursing home where I come to visit my aunt. He is always out and about in his wheelchair... Finally I worked up my nerve to bring in a camera and make a few candid shots of him. What a powerful and tragic face, I am in awe.

I understand this all too well now as my MIL just had to go on one of these systems. It is definitely something that is taken for granted in life. Interesing interpretation for the challenge.

Confronting human frailty always creates a dramatic image. This is well executed, and certainly stands out in this challenge.

An image that tells a story. Makes me wonder why he needs to additional oxygen. Clearly a lot of conditions could warrant this.

It is technically good and I like how is he is not looking directly at the lense. Overall a very good image.
