How Young to Understand Death

...touching scene

Very powerful.

Great photojournalism!

well done

Very powerful image. Beautifully photographed.

The death of one of those whose job it is to protect us affects us all. They stand against all the insults unable to answer. Occasioanlly they get the chance to show support for each other and unfort a funeral is one of those occasions

very powerful emotion running through this shot, nice capture

Great capture, my young friend. Perfect in B&W.

Amazing capture. Very well done on your win : ) A very strong imagine even without the story. It’s rare that these moments are caught but you have captured a really poignant time. Very well done x

A timeless, powerful photo.

Wonderful photograph. Congrats on being one of the In The Moment winners. Well deserved.

This is a brilliant photo, well done on the competition win.

Thanks again everyone! =) I’m totally thrilled at the moment that this actually made it, you have no idea. It’s odd, because even though this is one of my earliest photos, I still find it to be one of my favourites. That day is actually what got me into photography, the pictures that came from it… but thanks again for all of your kind words! I found the site from the finding contest, actually, but all of you made me stay for more =)

Hi!
Great shot! It has an intense feeling and portrays exactly the emotion of what it is to mourn.
Before I read the details on the photo I could see why it was that this boy’s face showed so much hurt and anger.
Nice job, you’re very talented.

The gravity of the moment is palpable. Officer funerals are so emotionally challenging to attend. Wonderful capture.

Thanks Mark =) It definitely wasnt the best experience, emotionally speaking, and I wasn’t sure if the camera and picture taking was appropriate at first, but I’m very glad I decided to now… It’s a small moment in history for this city, and for me… It marks many things for a lot of people, I guess… but, I’m rambling. Thank you for the kind words, again =)

Good shooting.

You’ve capture the mood brilliantly.

Fantastic but ver tragic image….well documented

Excellent work! A very touching image.
