Very powerful work here Silke. First, your quality is top notch! Excellent sharpness and color, LOVE the water in the bowl! Secondly it such a powerful topic to raise. I can't stand to see the innocent harmed, hopefully our society will wake up before it's too late!

What is there to say here; powerful message highlighted by a simple yet powerfully created and presented image.
That's the key and point to all of us, for me, of the message; the concept is simple and obvious, just do it.
Thanks,
Wilt

Bonjour Silke,

Une image des plus intéressante!!!
L'avenir de l'enfance est entre les mains des adultes!
C'est à nous de conduire l'enfance vers un monde sans violence, un monde de paix pour qu'ils puissent devenir les hommes de demain!!!
Joli cliché

his silke, neat shot, i had no idea the word suffer was used in that way-interesting for sure, my children (we have 2 girls-6 and 10,) they rarely suffer as they are the centre of my family's world, i agree with your comments, well spoken,
take care,
tfs,

Hi Silke,

Hi Silke, I can read all kinds of things in your image. The words are carved on a piece of wood that is very warm in color and rich looking. Children need our warmth. ...and with the bowl of water. Children need to be nurtured and cleansed of their past. The circle shape? Circle of love, with no end.

Strange that so few come to the woods to see how the pine lives and grows and spires, lifting its evergreen arms to the light- - - - to see its perfect success. -- Henry David Thoreau

Really a nice composition with the warm red/golden tones of the wood. Well thought out Silke. Perfect for a Sunday morning.

Lisa :D

Silke Hi:
An important and thoughtful series. I commend you for using your very talented photographic and artistic talents to support this very necessary and needed cause. Our real world is a much different place than I remember as a child.
The above composition is splendidly composed with sharp clarity and planning.
Your note, wonderful and thoughtful, as always
Congratulaions, very very nicely done, my friend

Hi Silke,

I love the feel of this photo, there is something really atmosphereic in it, As you said I am sure everyone takes there own meaning from shots like this.

Cheers

No idea why little childeren has to suffer, but your picture is sharp. The composition is not that good, with the leggs visible.

Hello Silke

An excellent capture here, simple and very thought provoking, well seen and captured with warmth and love to all children

kind regards Helen

Your comments are very thought provoking Silke.
Very modern baptismal font and what looks strange to me is the branch from the pine tree.
No complaints about the photo at all - good shot, nice and sharp.
But I see a 'switch' from a tree that people are known to use to hit their children with. Just my imagination working overtime! I see the Switch and the word Suffer. And that's what we don't want to see together where our children are concerned.
As I said, this is a very thought provoking image - and it has got me thinking
Cheers
Janice

I really don't know how this could have been composed to show the contents of the dish and no legs Silke? Nice detail in the plaque and good colour. Interesting reading your story unfold especially being involved in foster care,

Hi Silke,

You are so right - I'm only one woman, but I see children suffer and my hands are itching to help, however when they still are "cared" for by their parents there is not much one can do - okay - enough.
Your picture - yes a beautiful still life to illustrate your note.
