Hello,
I am a big fan of Zoriah Miller's work. He does a lot of disaster photography and work capturing the images of what Sociologists have called "the underclass". There's a lot of sad beauty (as well as a call to spiritual arms so to give care and love) in the shoots of Zoriah or Lange or this one.
You've done a great job with this photo - it looks excellent. I particularly like how it seems the girl and her bag are separated from the background, how you've pulled them forth.
Thank you for a good job! |

Positives: I knew I'd seen this image before - it stuck in my mind (I remembered her bare feet in the mud) and I checked back on 1x and there it was. It is truly great work though, the figure, the scene, the depth you have preserved - all the way back to the background wreckage; all make for a fantastic, sensitive, thought provoking piece. I also like the way she is walking towards a dark place in your image, reinforcing the metaphor in your title with photographic luminosity.
Critical stuff: Nothing at all.
Overall: I expect to see this on the front page. An easy 10 from me to help it on its way. |
Thanks Paul for this wonderful comment. |

| So compelling, tragic. Almost hard to give this a critique or a score. |

| Very sad, but quite good documentary photography. Just a glimpse more of her face would have helped a lot. |
