Caption:Saleh's recovery went better than anyone expected. One night at Children's Hospital, he and a custodian, Khaled Abdorabihe, played soccer in the hallway until a nurse caught them and sent Saleh back to bed.

Critique: This photo brings a smile to your face that is beyond your control. The photo is picture of a little boy named Saleh who went under some traumatic life changing trials. Saleh was nine years old when he was maimed by an explosion in Iraq. He may have faced some very emotional obstacles in his life but this photo show many things that he faced throughout his time of mourning he in this photo is no longer facing. Ready to get back up on his feet and never get brought down again. The detail and focus of this photo helps greatly. Also the candid moment of this photo does a great amount to the story. There may not be a certain point to this picture except for the moment but it also has just enough to make this photo great.
