    Very nice choice of exposure and color for this shot. You allso have many many symbolic elemets in this simple photo not sure if this was the intent but well done!

    What I see as symbolic:
    The season it was shot in. Great choice to capture in winter.
    The dried out dead grey grass
    The fallen leaves,
    The dirt smeared on the tombstone
    The appearance of the frost on the grass
    The tattered flag.


    All these elements in this photo make it really good as opposed to just a shot of a headstone. you took a very basic scene and made it very compelling clap.gifclap.gif
    Would love to hear from you on my blog, or website!

    I don't seem to stumble upon this mixture very often. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

    Thanks for commenting

    My initial goal was to take some pictures with my new 5DMkll thumb.gif

    It was cold & very windy. I wasn't going to stay long, but as I was walking back to my car I caught sight of this scene. It just struck me as a very reverent patriotic image. The soldier had indeed looked out for the American Flag during World War ll. Now, many years later, this flag is standing vigilant, looking over this soldier. Kind of moving.

    Thanks for your thought out post.
