I absolutely love this photo, so poignant. His hand on his heart breaks my heart for him, and all the little ones in the world struggling in difficult circumstances. And then his other hand, turned up, needing to be filled with what? -- food, care, affection?

The power here is in your point of view, with the child looking up, appealing directly to us as the viewers. I also love the coloration, how beautifully he blends with the soft colors of the ground.

Superb. Moving.
