You've taken a tough subject, and done it justice JJ.

I agree totally with MA wonderfully captured

Kind of ironic that it was a black cat.

The first one was sad but for some reason seemed oddly respectful. The second one hits a little too close to home I think :(

I know what you are saying. The first one almost hid the identity of the victim. I couldn't tell what it was exactly, only that it was an animal. Apart from a hint of blood in the road, there was no real graphic content. I liked it for that reason.

Very tough subject to put forth without hitting hard on emotional strings. As a lover of cats I find the second image disturbing to look at all the while knowing that as much as I don't like to see it, It is a reality, one I deal with too many times on my daily commute. If I remove emotion from the equation, I can understand the validity and craft of the second shot...Poor Kitty Well done

My apologies if this has stepped across the line. Photography is something for me that has no limits or boundaries. I know I posted the other picture of the animal, but this one for some reason struck me as well. I see it all the time, as many of you probably do as well.

This one was intriguing to me as much as the other. Being a black cat, it is the opposite of the saying don't ever cross the path of the black cat. Although, I may be in for a real treat after this. The fact that it is black covers up any bodily injuries sustained, with exception to its mouth. Its mouth seems to be screaming silently, but noone is listening. It matches the title of this thread perfectly, forgotten.

I don't think you ocer stepped any line really ... and you did put a warning in the title ... maybe saying 'Graphic Content' might have been better ... I came in expecting to see a 'Graphic' instead of a 'Photo'

I knew what I was getting into from the getgo just by the title. Your description JJ of the scream from the mouth and the reference of forgotten is a heart string puller for sure but in truth I believe, somewhere, in some little farm house, condo, what have you, the very presence of this animal will be missed by someone For me, you didn't cross any line and if you had it would have been a line I drew, a line you could never have known existed.
