Veterans Headstone

Here is my go at a graveyard.
I didn't realize that this gentleman died well after the war, sort of ruined the image for me.
Not that I wanted him to die a horrible war death far from home and away from his family....just wish the dates were different on the stone.

Re: Veterans Headstone

I agree, great tones and nice contrast, and I think the central comp works here too. I might just crop off the gravestone poking out of the LHS of the frame, but no biggie

When printed in an 8x10 or 11x14, that nasty headstone does get cropped out! I noticed that too.

Thanks the comments!

And, more importantly, lived to tell the tale. Nice picture.

Good point!
Maybe that is what I'll title the piece.

Re: Veterans Headstone

I like it, certainly the mono looks good on this photo. I like graveyards as well. I find them intriguing, even as a kid.
