While I agree it does capture some emotion & mood, I do understand the newspaper's stand on it being too strong. The picture could be interpreted as, showing grief of a child, can be upsetting for some.On the other hand, one could argue that it also shows the compassion of the man with his arm around the child.The editor of the newspaper has to make a value judgement of what he believes is appropriate for his readership.

Bottom line is, he has the final say, so next time you know what is acceptable to them.
I recently shot this photo covering a funeral for a local newspaper
in Denmark. I would like your comments on it. The newspaper ended
up running another photo as they belived this to be to "strong".
