The Lessons of Life

I mistakenly deleted this image from a competition gallery in December of last year and therefore didn't compete. So, it is now in a Photojournalism competition for this month. Please let me know what you think as I've received lots of interesting and creative feedback regarding this image. It was captured using my Nikon N75 with its 28-80mm "kit" lens along with my polarizer and starlight filters. The camera was set to "auto" and it was an overcast day. Be blessed and keep shooting!
