This is the single image that won this years British Journal of Photography Award by Michelle Sank, and it has sparked quite a debate as to why it was chosen. But having read Galvin's comments I agree with a lot of his reasonings behind it, and particularly at the end where he says "Sometimes photographers have to take risks- not just in photographing a subject, but to take risks with the image itself. As Culture shifts photography has to move with it, to change and challenge if it is to remain vital. Good photography should challenge, otherwise it could so easily be ignored". http://www.bjp-online.com/british-journal-of-photography/news/1811313/prize-winning-image
