Exclamation Soul Searching.

With the recent spate of threads appearing in the forums about the all happening NDP. I was thinking, had we ever really thought where we come from, what could we be today. Dug out this photo, titled: Soul Searching. Taken in suntec city convention hall and saw this boy reading the papers deep in thought. Was wondering if this pic had worked its fullest effect, in making ppl think, the search of the origin in us.



I thought a bigger pic would make a stronger statement. Click here

Please comment, for thats the only way i can improve.

hmmm, meaning such genre of pics would be best if be taken in landscape? And prob should show more eyes of the reader? As the reader was not sleeping but in very deep reading of the papers.

Have you considered a over the shoulder shot?
Think it just might work.
