Schlimme Geschichte, die Du hier erzählst. Das Bild bringt sehr gut die Emotion rüber. Besonders die Textur und die Mimik gefallen mir.
Very good work, Ute! You are right, my friend! What a world!
Wirklich sehr emotional ... eine verrückte Welt, in der wir leben!
Very strong picture ,dear Ute! Makes me think of Bebe's song "Malo"! Here in France it is the same , as last year 157 women died,beaten to death by their husbands.
wow i thought spain was bad in this domain. compared to france, france population +-65 millions 157 victims spain +-46 millions victims 60 i just took the numbers to show and for a moment i was not thinking of the victims. this is a disgusting behavior in a so called civilised world.
A stunning portrait and message ! En effet, je savais que les chiffres étaient plus importants en France, le pays le plus consommateur d'anxiolytiques et d'antidépresseurs ... une autre source : "Au moins 2.000.000 de femmes victimes de violence conjugale en France 400 meurent sous les coups de leur conjoint chaque année".
Awesome B&W portrait. Une notion que j'ai du mal à assimiler c'est comment peut-on battre une femme ...
Women should be permitted to carry knives and a gun. Self protection from brutal hubbies..Knife can be used while they sleep..
Lol @ Vita, we can also do it, when they are asleep, with a big pillow!!!!
an ugly world indeed!
Une image émouvante sur un sujet dramatiquement grave, sans doute toute une culture de la force et du pouvoir (même à l'intérieur d'un couple!) qui serait à revoir!
A very sad world indeed, but you did a marvelous job at bringing the problem out of the shadows Ute. Spain does not have a monopoly on abuse against women. There is the same sad story in every country in the world. There is no real easy solution to this, but penalties for such abuse should definitely become far more severe than they are. The bad part is in the heat of the moment abuses are not thinking rationally so they would not stop to think about consequences before beating their wife/girlfriend.
Fantastic and beautiful B&W portrait my friend....!!!
You are right Ute. Unbelievable what happens in this world. I agree Greyone 100% . I hate violence and all kind of discrimination. Would it ever be better?? Frans
Not good statistics! Have a great new year!
Very nice work on this sad and powerful image Ute. There is never any reason for a man to strike a lady.
Wonderful work,
very sad about that Ute, but it happens everywhere unfortunitly..
An honest, but sad commentary on how human mates choose to show their "love" for each other. It's too bad we don't teach our children from birth that if someone, even someone who professes love, hurts you with their fists or even their words, they don't respect you or love you. They use you and you use them to fill a need, and sometimes that need can be something totally opposite of what you think it is... Love doesn't hurt, it is the most honest and beautiful thing any creature can feel or desire... those who say "I love you" and then strike you are monsters to be feared and never trusted. Any man who beats his wife should be executed in public without a reprive, he is a complete coward and deserves no mercy... and a parent who beats a child should have his hands removed and forced to feel as vunerable as the one he has attacked. Death to tyrants, wherever they dwell and whoever they are. An excellent portrait of horror here dear Ute... this exhibits the dark far better than I ever could. Seth
So dramatic, and so sad this goes on!
Klasse, sieht aus wie gemalt, toller Effekt!!!
And sometimes, that small woman can snap & turn. And all the fear, rage & the pain built up over the years can come pouring out. Raining revenge on the perpetrator. What a look of shock on his face. Just before you smash it & give him a taste of his own medicine...
Beaucoup de sensibilité dans ton image, Ute, et du courage aussi!
Very good image to bring attention to a serious problem! Let's hope those are the last two for this year
Great work, Ute!
traurig genug alles in der Tat ,aber das 'warum' bleibt !! sehr gut dargestellt !!

Thank you Ute,I agree to greyone, you really did a marvelous job at bringing the problem out of the shadows and Also thanks to the Seth's Comment too.This is an unacceptable violence!In statistical,the year of 2007 1011 women killed by the man in here!And first 7 months of 2010,226 women killed by mostly of mans!Of course we have other assault types too!This is insane!:-(((Mostly of time I can't understand this world!When humanity will achieve to be civilized??And HOW????....Your works is magnificent and meaningful again!I hope we can stop this meaningless violence as soon as possible!.....
Nice work, Ute!!
