I had several comments regarding the fact that I did not include any text on the tombstone. I was trying for the reflection more, which is why I chose the back side of the granite marker. I appreciate all of the positive comments and I learned alot from submitting this photograph.
Deep, and such a serious little girl. Nice effect, I would have liked to seen the hand more in the middle. A really neat shot, maybe (but it might not work) would be to have the girls reflection photographed, but not the girl.
A great idea. Perhaps a name on the headstone or maybe a black shinier head stone to give a greater reflection. The drama in this photo is right there just waiting for a bit more something.
This is a great photo but I wish I could tell what the girl is looking at. It appears to be some sort of memorial but I don't see any writing on it so it has no meaning to me.
This is the very same idea that I wanted to go with but I couldn't find the time to drag my teenager to the cemetary. You did a much better job than I would have done. Good job.
would have liked to have identified the grave a lot sooner than I did. Otherwise a very touching (pardon the pun) shot. The melancholy look on the subject works well
Weird comment: this is the best "death as transition" photo. I enjoy the human factor in this showing the two sides of life and death and the reflection in the stone. The only improvement would be to see the actual words on the gravestone. It is a headstone, right?
This is a great shot with a lot of emotions in it. Sorry, but I don't see the transition message, though I can infer many. I love the shot. The face of the little girl has a very strong impact on me.
