    Loved your 2nd image, ront. The POV and the good use of shallow depth of field really made the shot. thumb.gifthumbthumb.gifclap.gifclapclap.gif

    Thanks!

    People need to realize what this day is all about!! So many have sacrificed so much in our behalf. When I go to a cemetery like this one, I just sit there and feel that I am among royalty! In the last picture, I had just sat on the edge of this plot watching this young man. He took some flowers and then just sat there for quite a while. He then got up and kissed the marker and then appeared to say a prayer and left. I went over to the marker after he left. It had to have been his grandpa. It was very moving and brought tears to my eyes.
