Some say a picture is worth a thousand words. I say this picture is worth over a million The photo of a surgeon that had just gotten done with a twenty-three hour successful heart transplant really opens ones emotions. The picture captures an unforgettable moment after surgery in the emergency room. This photo captures emotion in the surgeons face and body language, the photo is real and shows many perspectives, and shows vivid details to show the difficult procedure and time.

Emotion draws a person into a piece of art faster than anything. If one can truly connect emotionally with the piece of art then one can truly connect. This picture shows so many emotions in one moment. The surgeon's face and body language truly show the tiredness and relief that he earned through a twenty three hour procedure. The way the surgeons assistant is asleep in the corner of the emergency room looks like she is passes out from pure tiredness and hard work. The patient still asleep in the emergency room gives one a sense of hope. That through a whole twenty three hour procedure the patient still had the strength to hold on and he will get to love to see another day. The whole atmosphere in the room has a weird and awkward feeling. Just like the feeling that most people get while walking through a hospital, that same feeling hits one looking into this photograph. Emotionally this picture tears one a couple of different ways. The emotion that is most powerful in this photograph is the sense of relief and tiredness. It is almost like you are standing there and by what you see you can tell just how tired the surgeon and assistant really are. One can also see how much hope is in this picture by knowing the surgery was successful and everyone inside this picture made it through a journey that saved the patient's life gives this picture the feeling of hope because anything is possible and this surgeon and his team demonstrated that by doing a heart transplant and not giving up no matter the cost. The realness of the picture really hits one hard and lets one know how lucky we are to be alive and hoe fast things can change in one's life.

The feeling of realism this photo brings shows a lot to a person. One can directly relate to this photo because a lot of people could see themselves being on that table being operated on and getting a new heart from a heart transplant. How this photo touches one in many different ways also makes this photo feel more real. There is three different perspectives to think about in this photo; the assistant asleep in the corner and how the surgery affected her to pure exhaustion, the surgeon who has over one million things going through his head and s relieved that the surgery is over and went successfully, and the man who is still unconscious and has no idea what has even taken place in the past twenty three hours that he had been operated on. The perspective that is most interesting is the patient. If the caption or title to the picture would not have stated that the surgery was successful it would be very hard to tell that the patient was actually alive and was going to live. The effect of the picture after you read the title is almost like a weight being lifted off of the viewers own shoulders because one then sees bravery, and tiredness. Rather than defeat and disappointment. The fact that it is an actual picture and not a drawing or painting of a moment make the image more real because even though it's not the real moment, it is a picture captured during the moment. A picture isn't real but it freezes something that is real and makes it able to be judged, celebrated, and remembered. This photo can show one exactly how hard and crucial to the patient's life this twenty three hour surgery went.

Imagery in a picture can show more than what the picture actually captures. Like in this photograph things inside of the image tell you how the surgery was very hard and took a very long time to complete. The amount of different tubes and wires hanging from the patient is a dead giveaway on how complicated the surgery had to be to require such extensive usage of materials. The expression of the surgeons face shows exactly how he felt at that moment; a combined tired, happiness, and achievement is seen all at the same time because of the amazing things that happened in one hour less than a full day. The imagery brings this picture to life showing every detail in that single moment. The blood on the surgeons gloves look fresh as if he has just finished this long and excruciating surgery. The blood also resembles the symbols of love and hope that connect to the viewer emotionally and make one care for the patient even though one cannot even see his full body or know his name. The fact of how the assistant looks sleeping shows you that she is truly satisfied because the place and position she is sleeping in looks totally uncomfortable but she looks so relaxed and relived because of the survival of the patient. The assistant sleeping in the corner also shows the viewer how long and demanding the surgery was, being that the assistant could not even make it to a place where she could comfortably sleep but only to the corner of the room out cold probably sleeping so well because of all the energy that was drained during the procedure. This picture captures a lot in one moment and this moment will be remembered for a long time.

This photo freezes a moment in time and highlights a truly immaculate achievement in both the surgeon's and his assistant's life. There is a lot of emotion that cannot be explained in this picture because to truly understand you would have actually had to been there to understand what truly happened for those long twenty three hours of nothing but hard work, sweat, and determination. A lot of things in life are hard to explain. With an image this clear and with so much emotion, imagery, and realism is easy to analyze and break down to try and fully understand everything that was happening in this exact moment.
