Thanks a lot for the kind comments. I hope this photo will change a bit our minds and concept about humanity and someday we will remember who we really are and help each other for no profit or such.



Thanks Lili for pushing it and thanks estudio for featuring it so the world could notice it

It's incredible to see this, really. Honestly I almost wish you'd submitted it sooner, but I think the timing in itself is important, especially in times like these when it's easy to lose faith in the world with all that's going on. Just an incredible reminder of the heart and will of human beings, and their ability to reach out to their fellow man. Bravo, absolutely amazing photo.

No offence but, uh... this got a DD, why? Not really anything special, visually. Not that saving someone from a flood isn't anything special, but...

Mikeleus In reply to Double-Echo [2009-07-18 07:53:13 +0000 UTC]

I don't know. i guess it's not beacuse of the picture's quality bu about the message it brings. when people see this kind of pictures, sometimes they bring hope back in their lifes. i hope at least one of us who saw this picturewill do the same in their future, if a bad thing will happen (hopefully not...)

Because the GM, ^estudio , felt that it deserved it.

FAQ #873: What do I do when I disapprove of a Daily Deviation feature?

Also, the point of photojournalism isn't necessarily to make something special visually. The point is to document an event with as much skill as is possible given the situation. If I were the GM, I probably would have thought something along the lines of, "Wow, this is a completely successful and touching piece of photojournalism. Good for them."

that's just so amazing how they actually cared enough to work together and come up with a plan to save the driver in the car.

Mikeleus In reply to Ninja-Fox-Kitty [2009-07-18 07:51:19 +0000 UTC]

people are born with that. sometimes we burry this feeling - of help and care - somewhere deep inside, and discover it only on cases like this.

This is so beautiful... It really made me cry. What hurts when I see this though-- is not the people that suffer or those who go out of their way to help others-- but the people that just dont

I'm afraid I haven't seen much of what we call humanity in my life but I still like to have hope and this picture does it for me. Congratulations... You deserve it...

Thanks a lot.. You know, actually i wasn't expecting to see this happening, because just like you - i didn't have a chance to see many acts of humanity in my life. this time i guess people just forgot about their pride and fear of dying and realised that their help is much anticipated. this moments indeed bring hope in our lifes

ArtByElizabethKeel In reply to Mikeleus [2009-07-21 02:46:44 +0000 UTC]

I agree. I hope that any person would reach out to help a person who was in need. We all need a hero at some point in our lives-- I just hope that more people find them...
