Symbolism in Imagery
Stock imagery is frequently about symbolism - finding that *exact right* image that communicates a feeling, a thought, a message rather than just sitting there, looking pretty.
Every so often, an image comes across my desk that is just like that: not necessarily beautiful in the common sense - but rather inviting the viewer to study it, and see beyond the obvious.
Below image, by Shari Morris, is one of those.

Defiance. Strength. Hope. Tenacity. Overcoming Obstacles.
