I get so caught up in photography sometimes that I refuse to keep it simple (not necessarily a good thing), when I look and see meaning in what I see....the problem how can one portray something that is subjective. I guess photography is better off being simple, and not an editorial. "The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes." "

I disagree with this sentiment completely. Don't be so hard on yourself here...I too think it's a great shot! I tend to think that once you've moved beyond the snap shot, photography tends to fall into 2 categories, the artistic and photojournalism. Photojournalism is, by it's very nature, quite editorial...that's part of it's purpose (IMHO). While the point of photojournalism is to "document" something that is happening, often that something has some kind of editorial statement...which is why it's happening in the first place.
