Apesar de estar bem tirada a foto, é muito triste.

awesome picture but horrible angle and view. the person looks photoshoped in because thier size doesnt match the shells under thier feet and theres no definite shadow from them. possibly hard to see due to the amount of shells. it just looks weird.

size of shells is hard to determine but i assume ak47 or some type of military/police rifle used in that nation. too bored to do research on it.

Yeah - ‘Containing’ being the operative word - if this was the one photo out of that set that actually won the prize it would say so.. You might want to brush up on your reading comprehension David… newb

and yes it does have that “photoshopped” look to it - not saying that it was photoshopped, but the perspective and the bad focus outlines do make it seem so.

Jake is a tard. ‘Tard’ being the operative word. You can shove your pseudo-intellectual arrogance right up your pooper.

‘their size doesnt match the shells’

Maybe bec theres more than one size of shell theyve invented?
