My First B&W - An Apology

It's difficult to casually discuss the photographic merits of this gruesome picture. Could you pick something a little more neutral?

 

I think the subject matter is in poor taste and disgusting.

 

Apology appreciated. I think there is a time and place for it (as photography is just another art form), but I think the imagery was graphic and merited a warning for user discretion instead of being posted directly.

I was shocked at first..again not necessarily opposed to it, but yeah certainly a surprise when you clicked the link to the thread.

 

Why do I feel the shock and outrage would be better directed, not at the photographer or image, but at the story the photograph tells?

The right picture may be worth not only a thousand words but perhaps a thousand lives.

I would like to see it reposted, with appropriate warnings.

 

I think "outrage" is putting it rather strongly and certainly none should be directed at the photographer. My feeling is that the content was both shocking and sickening and that perhaps this is not the place for either the photograph or discussion since this is not a political site. A warning certainly would not have gone amiss but there you go.
