First - You can feel the weight of the woman's grief. The expression
on the guy on the right really makes this photo.
Second - A really nice moment that the photographer caught by
getting down on the subjects' level. We've seen this sort of photo
before, but the age difference and the backstory make it compelling.
Third - Good effort at finding a different angle and then capturing a
moment.
Alternate - Wonderful piece of seeing. There's a lot of business in the
background, which keeps this one down a bit.
