Greetings from the Critique Club!
Intriguing image. Very glad that those who died in battle have found peace and the calm they deserve, in hallowed ground, but perturbed that nobody seems to have known who they were. The b/w works beautifully here and I like what appears to be a huge tree root to the right, breaks up what could otherwise look like too many leading lines without interrupting the flow of the eye. Meaning that I see it and register what it is but then keep going from there.
I had to smile when I read your notes. Way back when, Advanced editing was just one capture only, and now you can have up to 10 captures for an image, which is something I've never really been fond of. That's why some photogs ribbon so consistently, because they do nothing but focus stack the very best components of an image together to create a penultimate image. And I'm also a fan of cropping out stuff that doesn't need to be there.
Keep up the good work!
