What a neat idea, Norm! The title is great, and this is a powerful social commentary. We could use more images like this.

The bar-like shadows are a neat touch, both visually and symbolically.

Thanks, Steve!

As usual I started out going in one direction only to end up going in the other. However also as usual, it seemed to be the thing to do! (smile)

Always trust your gut, Norm. :)

You know, this image is good enough to be used by organizations like America's Second Harvest or The Hunger Project!

Thanks Wendy!

I felt this image's content was a little more serious than some that I do!

Yeah well we all have a serious side don't we:-) Art's a great way to release all emotions and thoughts! #3809569

O'siyo Wendy, my sentiments exactly!

I find that If I pay attention as I work, I find many interesting things going on inside my head.

I'm probably a frustrated writer that's trying to say something (I don't know what) through picture stories. (smile)

Have a great weekend doing what ever you want to!
