Indeed it doesn't.

sorry odd place to start. but thats the back ground i may have used had it been me and there had been grass. just because i feel it may have strengthend it image even more.
haveing said that, its pretty strikeing as it is!
the reason this picture caught and held my eye is. well i'm adopted. when i was three weeeks old i was adopted. so i don't feel like i am. but the thing that gives it awa is i'm chilean i was born in santiago. myfamily (and obviously since i was 3 weeks old me) are british. and white.
but there has never been any feelingi'm diferent. as far as my parents are concerned. i am me. i am their son.
it doen't matter that i'm shorter brauder and darker than them. my family in general have always had that thought process my cousin is married to an iraqi and has two kids another cousin has adopted a chinese girl. we are multinational and cultureal as a family. and i'm always saddened when people are suprised by our situation.
anyway i'm rambleing. my point is. my family have baught me up to beleive in equality and fairness and in embraceing diference. and your picture captures that idea perfectly!
a beutiful peice. and well worth the DD
very strong shot,
although I think it would of been a stronger shot if the white skin was whiter and the black, blacker,
also I think the background kind of takes a way abit from the picture, because it kinda blends with the hands, so I would have gone with a very clear background.
otherwise, very nice picture
and with a strong message, and that's what is really important...
also, your message (on the description) is a very good addition, and is written very well, so to sum up everything...
well done, i'll be sure to check out more of your art
