I dont think its to strong at all. I think you captured some emotion and mood. What more can a good photograph show?

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.
