Well, here's is my contribution to the best of project. And i can honestly say this is about the hardest thing i've ever had to do. So many shots i could have posted, as most shots have a special meaning for me(even the portraits) or reflect the way i feel at that time, as you know i like to try and reflect some emotions in my shots.
So why this one? ... no real idea actually, just had to make a choice. On the other hand i guess it's mainly because this is a dream that will never become reality for me.

And my wish..... love and respect for all.
And most of all .... To be able to watch or read the news without having to hear about yet another case of child abuse ......neither here or anywhere else in the world.

More best of 2010 to be seen HERE
And many, many thanks to R&R for this great initiative!! even though it was b...hard :-)
