Challenge series hosted by
nDray.
Challenges start on Saturdays.
Photography presents the viewer with an artistic or documentary view of some thought or event. With this series I'd like to weekly pick on a dominant topic, be it on the news or anywhere else, like my mind, and have photographers share their view on the challenge theme, strongly or very loosely tied to the topic.
Winners could be invited to contribute with ideas for the next challenge!

Sometimes you are forced to do things that you don't like, or that you harshly regret. When you do such things, even when you know it will be good for people, you end up being crucified, a traitor. Of course not all traitors are good people, and some act purely on dishonesty.
Either case, how would you depict treason?
