Chuck,
This statement is not only very powerful but goes right to the heart of the matter. Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.

    Thanks Susan.
Comment from Envision


Cheers! This is a great bit of meaningful graffiti! It is sad that people tend to forget the past rather than take lessons from it. The world would be a nicer place too if all parents would work at building strong children :)

When you have read the text, you realize what a strong impact this photo has got, and I totally agree with the Pioneers. When you also know where this photo was taken, it has an even stronger impact.

The photo is nice and sharp showing such clear and well defined details, and the exposure and white balance is perfect.

The format you have cropped the photo into is very good, and I like how the text is filling the whole frame. A great and well taken photo with a message, and I wish you luck with the contest.

what i personally say " the 1st 5 years of a humans life lays the template of what their personalities will be"...but i do like this one..cool. the clarity is great. the angle of the shot of this strong graffiti is great. the capture of the light is great. the image is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. good eye and great job overall.

Yes. It hits you in the face as it speaks the truth, only truth and nothing but the truth. World would have been a better place to live today, had the majority of parents had followed this dictum. Good thinking. Good shot. Good luck!

Comment from alaskapat


I have seen this quote before and I absolutely agree with it, I am glad to see it written on a wall in such a faraway location. This is well photographed wth good focus, the image is clear, exposure is well managed, the white wall with the blue and black lettering for the quote with the Red lettering to spell The Pioneers. Well composed and presented! Best wishes to you in the contest !
