The essence of truly great photography is to capture a moment and convey emotion in a 2 dimensional medium. Pathos, excitement, happiness can all be conveyed. Remember this one:

I think the reaction to photos is always about the photographer's skill and the background the viewer uses to filter the experience of that image.

I believe I saw that Vietnamese child, now an adult, on an American TV show where she claimed to now be an American citizen.

Two photos of the war in Vietnam stand out in my opinion. Yours and the photo of the Vietnamese General in the process of executing some Vietcong kid. Oh, we can't forget the monks that burned themselves to death either.

As to my series, the alleged Tiger certainly has some features of a dog. I plan to do research on that Tasmanian tiger.

I have other you tubes to study but I believe a claim is now made that they are still at Tasmania.

But to learn a lot about them, take a look at this video.
