Really like what you did here with the perspective and DOF. Powerful image!

It's certainly a strong, emotion-evoking image....somewhat haunting to me. Excellent work, Eric.
See you,

Thanks for commenting guys... all credit to the artist's work here.
The exhibit included other types of media - drawings, paintings, etc. - many with text describing the veteran's feelings and experiences.
The effect was - as you noted - powerful, sobering, and often crushingly sad... wars take place in far-away places,
and I think it's important to never lose sight/acknowledgement of the sacrifice of our military members and their families, both now, and through-out the history of our country.
Strong subject matter. For me, it needed a person in the photo interacting with the exhibit.
I agree rainbow - would have been an interesting element given the subject matter of the exhibit.
Here's another one from a different part of the gallery that has the "human" element as you described.
Again, photography was explicitly permitted - I mention it because I feel it's important to abide by such constraints if present.
You captured some very intense observation here and I like that one portrait on the same wall is without an observer. Seems to intensify the interaction of the others.

Thanks for your observations Wayne!
Yes, I (also) liked the juxtaposition between the two pairs of framed photos.
