What a great idea. I wish there'd been a face behind those glasses --- that would've truly made the image for me. But, conceptually, what a fantastic shot. I think the blur even works with it --- just the 'floating glasses' seems odd --- needs a nose poking through.

Oooh, much much nicer, in my opinion. The face really humanises the photo, makes the emotional impact that much more hitting. Very nice.

Having lost my son in Iraq, this has special meaning for me....I love it, but it makes me sad too as any reminder does. Thank you.
