Dear Jamara,

I got the same advice for that image from a photo editor that I really respect.
You are right about that image.

Thank you for your comment!

Matt,

Thank you for your comment.

As we all know - different people are touched and challenged by different visions. Nothing wrong with it.
I wonder if you really believe in your last advice.

Take care :)

Yanina

Dear Jamie,

Thank you for your feedback and nice words!

Yes, I have noticed similarities too- the same country, the same city, the same hospital, the same surgeries, the same dresses, the same activities within the hospital, the same hopes, etc.

Warm regards,

Judges Comments:
Hey Yanina – This is a great collection of compelling images highlighting an important story. You’ve got a knack for making pictures that are very beautiful in a traditional way. Like Jamie I noticed the similarities between this and Mary Calvert’s story, but still think that it is an issue that needs to be shown – though hopefully interpreted in different ways. You have a great sense of the traditional photojournalism aesthetic, my only criticism would be that I don’t feel it pushes the envelope to challenge or startle me visually. To make your voice heard, and by proxy that of your subjects, you need to strive to cultivate your own unique perspective.

JUDGES NOTE:

Yanina and I have known each other for sometime. This essay is beautiful and heart wrenching. However, I'm a little disturbed by how incredibly similar it is to the story Mary Calvert photographed for her award winning essay on fistula. Would you care to comment on that?

The composition is beautiful, the subjects are well presented and I didn't need to read the essay description to know what it was about. You did a great job on a tough subject and I truly wish more students were as outgoing and risky like you when tackling a photo story subject. Women's issues in this part of the world are rarely reported on and bravo for going there and doing the needful for a story that is under reported in today's media.

This hospital is a very interesting place, it had a heavy impact upon my "seeing" the world. Your photograph continues that for me....keep going with it.

I love the image with the sheets hanging and the woman standing far away. I feel distanced from her as though she is ashamed. Did you want this to be one of the last images?

Again , cliche, emotional, a serious poking to the numb western consciousness... but..
Wrong sequence, loose edit... all over the place....My oh my..
but let me tell you something YANINA....
GREATEST ESSAY SO FAR...
imagine if we do a tighter edit and a sequence that makes sense...
bravo.!
