2003, Jerry Lampen, 1st prize, General News
I think that this picture is very well taken in the sense that it captures fully the emotion on the face of the woman in the centre who appears to be grieving. The focus is enhanced as the surrounding women are not in clear focus. They are slightly blurred in comparison with the woman in the centre. More light is also shed on the central portion of the photograph, and there is a lot of black space in the surrounding parts of the picture. I think that the photographer, Jerry, got exactly what he wanted to capture. A gloomy representation of the suffering that these women are going through together. It feels cold and hardened, and a lack of warmth and humanity.
