| Very atypical of what we see here. So subtley emotive, the beam of light is killer. I don't know what could make it better, maybe if we had the story to go along with it... I'm glad he's just holding an icepack. |

| I don't really like that pink light but this is a photo that tells a story, it is photojournalism and I can see it in a newspaper. |

| Fantastic piece of photo journalism. I love his thoughful gaze and the streaming light. Well done and good luck for the rest of the challenge. |

| Poignant. Nice sunlight shaft. A bit dark, but that fits with the mood. |

This photo has haunted me for the past few days. I purposely waited to comment on it until I reached this milestone: this is my 3000th comment given.
I can not think of a more deserving photo. It's not particularly DPC friendly, but it has spoken to my soul. Thank you. |

| Interesting photograph, not just for the celestial light beam but also for the faraway look in his eyes. 7 |

| One of the few wartime images on DPC that I like and doesn't try to play on US patriotism - nice work |

| An example of a shot that takes it to that next level of emotion and meaning. Assuming this is a pure documentary photograph, IMO, an image like this is infinitely more valuable than the posed nonsense we see everywhere. I don't mean 'nonsense', those types of shot have their time and place, I'm just saying that capturing real people doing real things is what I think photography is all about and wish I saw more of it on this site. The expression and light on the face and the shafts of light behind make this a stand out shot and my first 10 this challenge. The photograph just screams 'realness' to me, GL |

| I like the rays of light and the contemplative look on his face. Very nice. |

| VERY nicely done. A real sense of being there and of being alone there. |

| Great idea and a great profile portrait. The pinkish streaming light is a put-off for me. |

| I like the reference to the famous hymn. The light is almost symbolic of the invisible strength of his faith. This is VERY powerful. I can see it in a Life or Time magazine expose about the Middle East. Good work here. 8 |

| Wonderful! The colors are kind of wonky, but that might have been a deliberate attempt to capture the mixed emotions that must come within this situation. It may have been a more commanding photo in bw, but I won't deny that this is a very well composed, well lit photo that tells a really interesting story. |
