The image is interesting, but seems harshly overprocessed, no doubt intentional (I've seen your edgy style). Personally, I have a harder time with the title and the word "holocaust". I am sure your title was in the spirit of empathy and serious reflection for humankind; and I understand the concept. However, in my mind THE holocaust was Hilter's extermination of the Jews. The word "holocaust" is therefore synonymous with that. To use it in an almost casual term here, though clearly alluding to a terrible event of some kind, seems somehow disrespectful of the human tragedy and suffering of the Jewish holocaust? Just my gut reaction. Personally, I just would find another word; but it's a bleak concept to equate a beautiful sunset like this with tragedy and human suffering, really. Make sense?
My best,
