Photography contest - sadness

Please read the CONTEST GUIDELINES before participating in this contest.

sadness
Contest Goal:
Convey sadness in a photo. The expression on a face, the mood of a scene. It can include people, animals or objects, as long as the image makes the viewer feel empathy for or about the subject.

Suggested by: Gubbles

Contest comments:

nofue: are pictures of sculptures not made by the author considered a valid creative work? (2 years and 288 days ago)
nofue: Seems people tend to skip the "mood of a scene" part of the c/goal. If you cannot feel any empathy, the picture is not necessarily o/t. I admit, some pictures don't make me feel sad at all, but I accept that at least the author felt sad in some way. Voting should be done on photographical merits, so please be fair even if you do not feel touched. (2 years and 287 days ago)
