This presentation takes picture editing to a whole different level. The idea of using evidence photography to make a composite image is very creative and the execution is powerful. It also takes a lot of editorial courage to run an image as strong as this and on this subject on the front page of the paper. The montage was done really well and grabbed the attention of the reader. A really creative way to present a difficult subject matter. In terms of editing this seemed to have a lot of thought that was successful. The composite of domestic violence victim evidence photographs showed a creative and courageous approach to the presentation of physical cruelty. Unflinching and straightforward –– this set of nine images had a profound effect me.
