thank you JD for your high feelings,
dear what you see from us is just one from thousands,we can not say it all,
as for me to get to the net,I have adapted an APC UPS,changed its battery with 150AMP one, and added an extra charger,and this becomes so popular in Iraq.
apart from that,there some people who sells power,imagine that,at each living quarter,there some guy who brings,say one or two kilovolt generator,and distribute power to the house for a high fee,it is called a private sector power by me,and I will post one shot about it for the members to see something unimaginable,for me I have 8AMP.subscription.
thank you for your attention,and asking,
Saad.

Interesting story Saad, your reply to JD about electricity. Your photo shows well the impact on daily life. I can remember stories about WWII herein holland where also power was unreliable and disturbing life. Hope it will be restored soon !
Be well, Harry

In my opinion, the picture on its own is good, technically well done, but quite frankly, nothing special.
What makes it special, is the about, the understanding of the hardships, and the ability of the photographic community to put prejudice aside and empathise.
It shows how the innocent are affected, and for achieving that, I congratulate you.
Coming from a community that has survived for years exactly on that prejudice, I thank you for touching my heart.

Dear Saad, your picture is realy a strong report. Looking at compositiom and tone I think the shot would be more "drammatic" if you convert it into Black and White. 7/7 regards Alessandro.

Wow!!! Now I find out you have children! I like you even more! It must be difficult having such short time with power. But this reminds me of the story of Abraham Lincoln, the greatest president ever of the United States. He would do his homework by the light of a fire in the fireplace. This is a modern version of that... and your children may be as great as Abraham Lincoln. What subject is she studying?

Now, to comment on this as a photo. The light at the top is distracting. Crop this lower on the top and leave only the light she is using to do the homework. By doing that, it is a much more powerful image. A single light. I have this rule... balance. When you look at an image it should hold balance. Each corner should balance the other corner. This image is just slightly out of balance because the top light distract from the subject.

sir ,I have done my C.A.B.S. on the light of a kerosene candle,I can not afford the rechargeable at that time,
just an extra information,all the graduates of Iraq,for the last eighteen years have done the same thing,of course there is very few and rare exceptions.
my best regards,
Saad.

thank you Huda,for bringing the stick,an unnecessary effort by your Mame,at this site nobody knows my title,and you have uncovered that,it is yours input that I first received,and decided to remove the shot from the site just to remove the input,but it was one of the best shots I have ever took,so decided not.
don't worry ,no harm has been done,and one day or an other my ID will be known,it is not much of a secret,so I am ready to go fuhrer,I am going to upload a personal photo to the site,
thank you again for the effort,and my sincere greeting to the fine family of yours,

Saad, I don't agree (IMHO, of course). It has a lower "weight" (from the lighting point of view) so it doesn't dominate the shot. On the contrary it balances it because without it, the right part would have been too dark, too "heavy".
A square cut with just the main light and the woman may be attempt to remove it.
Have a nice day, Paolo
