Early Sunday Morning found this woman on the riverfront singing her praises to the Lord. That is the Holocaust Memorial in the background.

Here is a great example of the occasional need for, and potential value of, a well-chosen tittle.
The image does not clearly reveal the subject's gender, and the facial expression could just as easily, reflect sadness, profound joy in salvation, response to unrelieved pain of chronic arthritis in knees, hips, and back ( my first thought...), grief, relief from fear, or any number of other profound emotions.
The subject of this image is, clearly and most articulately, a person experiencing a profound emotion, but what that emotion may be is not detectable, at least not to my eye. My first thought was that with not-so-close-a-crop we might learn more, but that is doubtful. It is thus unclear whether we ought feel concerned for her, or glad for her.
Personally, I would like some visual clue as to the last of these quandaries, if not to the others mentioned.
