They death was chosen by a higher being...

It's uncontrolable. It was their time to die._x

my first impression was... gender selection. i'm personally pro choice... but i think gender selection is wrong.

whoa i really like this piece. its almost horrific in a monarchy sort of way.

to me this means that humanity is trying to control the human population from abortions to putting people to death. we have no right to do any of these things at all. no one man has a right to take another mans life... only god does. anyways thats what it means to me. i really like this im gonna fave it hehe

Thank you for finding meaning in my photograph. That's exactly what I was thinking, but there's so many interpretations. The right to live...you shouldn't have to fight for it. it should already be yours.

This reminds me of a certain WW2 story my teacher told me. You know, back in the day, the nazi's would make the jews, who stayed in concentration camps, wait in long lines with a towel and a bar of soap. To the people's knowledge, all they were doing was simply waiting for their turn to take a bath. They enter in groups inside this building that comes fully equiped with showers. But not all groups end up taking a bath in this facility. Some groups never come out alive at all. When the nazis feel like it, they switch the shower control. Instead of water, a certain lethal gas comes out (and I suppose you could guess what happened right after).

Anyway, just sharing. This is a very good picture. It truly stands for a lot of things. Great job.

Hmmmmmm. I think... it's symbolic of a predator, hunting a herd of deer or somesuch. A few members of the herd show signs of weakness-- a limp, slowness, etc. Those would be the X's. And the squished egg shells could be the bones of yesterday's prey...

I'm a sucker for conceptual shots. Great job!

Very very very awesome. Great idea. Great capture.

In all honesty it totaly reminds me of our government. Decideing who to crush and who not to. I mean I'm not anti-government or anything, but it totaly has that feel. Good stuff!

Because of the boots, I feel it gives it more of a military kinda feel. It could relate to the war with mass (because of the majority black x's and crushed ones) selective killing... It would be cool to do this same photo with a bunch of different times and have a different shoe in each one... A womens dress shoe, a slipper (sandle), a skate shoe, bare foot... etc. you get the point. I guarntee it would have a way different feel and effect for the one photo... It would be a good final portfolio kinda thing for school... Looks Great though Keep it up...
