My son and my wife the moment he stepped off the bus - after he had spent a year fighting with the Marines in the Helmund province of Afghanistan. My wife is overcome with emotion at his safe return. A touching moment in our lives. This is my submission for the Black and White contest.

This is a most moving image Nathan - the b/w adds to its timeless quality and a picture that will speak to many.
"A picture says a thousand words" - this one does.

Good luck with this most worthy entry.

Outstanding shot! I can feel her joy at the safe return of her son. I think any mother can understand the emotions she must be feeling. To your son my heart felt thanks for affording me the freedom and benefits I enjoy as a citizen of the USA!!!

The reason why the sunsets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
