WOW!!! This gives me goosebumps, it's so good. Absolutely perfect composition--as Eivor said, the framing of his face accentuates his captivity. And the title is the icing on the cake. Fantastic work, Usman--definitely a winner, and a fave for me! #7995854

My heart breaks for the imprisoned. It's humans that should be behind bars for destroying habitat, not wildlife.

The image you captured is outstanding with perfect composition, lighting and tonality, in addition to being very moving. It makes me want to take action to free the animal. And, this is what images should do, empower people.

USMAN!!!! Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! POTD!!!

This emotional image sure carries IMPACT for us all!!!

I stared at the fencing crossing over his mouth showing that he has no power even of speech for his own rights or freedom.

Okay...here's the plan...Let's get some wire cutters...and we'll meet after dark!...

WONDERFUL JOB and SO DESERVING, our friend Usman!

Usman,

Perhaps if everyone donated money to get the release of this animal, or to have him/her moved to a location where more freedom was allowed, we would be putting our voices to a good cause.

It breaks my heart that human selfishness has captured, imprisoned or murdered wildlife. #8151389

You got the sad face cetered so perfectly in the fence. The colors and features are gorgeous. The expression gut wrenching. a masterpeace of skilled photography and strong emotions.
