I had a similar reaction. I do think it is well executed, in that I could have just ignored it if it was badly done. Bob said he felt sadness, whereas I feel more of an uncomfortable confusion. Either way I found the quality of the photo hard to ignore.

It's as though this was done to one of my parents, or perhaps my best friend. In fact, it was. The work reveals a lot about the artist, about his willingness to cause pain to a multitude of people which is about his character. You say "It made an impact on [you]." Please describe this impact.
