Yes, this is very good. I find it to be a serene and quite beautiful photo.
 
Nicely done. Interesting subject that many photographers will not address.
 
Jose, once again you bring us valuable and interesting work to view. Work that is done with great competence.
 
Jose, I really admire you for the work that you do. Both for your obvious photographic abilities, but also for dealing with this type of subject matter. It's sometimes difficult to view, I can't imagine what it's like for you.
Your work feels real, and important.

Thank you all for the kind comments. Thomas, it's hard to tell about what it's like, the thing is that I start this line of work trying to overcome my fears and to know where my comfort threshold is. Up to now, it's still a matter of keeping control of the work over the felings involved.
