Much impressive and touching. One imagines the harsh life of that family by looking at the face of the mother.
The compo is very good, it reminds a classical painting, almost a "Niger Madonna" (nothing to do with the pop star, of course).
Technically, it shows the sign of an old film scan, a bit on the brow/purpkle side and low contrast, but that doesn't damage its impact very much.
'Muratd's WS is visually more striking, but he overdid with the saturation and contrast, loosing much detail in the shadows.
