I did the same thing with my hands when I got there... I was unable to get any pictures though, too many names of friends...

This is a very powerfully emotive photo. Very good composition.

I love this photo. And, I agree with your comments completely. It does capture the essence of Veteran's Day. Great composition and positioning with the hands and the reflection of them.

Hey Terry, congrats on your first ribbon with this powerful image!

This is it, everything about this picture is good from the old hand to the sorrow that the hands show. This picture is prefect for the Heroes in every war where ever it was or were ever it might be.

I liked this shot when you first showed it to me. My only 10 of the challenge. Perfect DOF, nice sharp focus, and black and white was the perfect choice for the shot. This just proves that you and I need to go shooting more often. ;) Nice job pal!

This is an image that I sat and looked at for a long time.....it's very powerful. To me the hands emphasised the fact that it's not just a list of names .....those were people who's lives were lost,families changed forever, it made me remember. Congrats on a very well deserved blue!!

Wow! Congrats on Your first Ribbon and a Blue! Great Image, perfect for this challenge! Very "touching", emotional subject well desrved top honor.
Post actions
What a great thing to wake up to: CJ's first ribbon. BLUE!! I'm thrilled for you. Great photo!
Post actions
I just love this. A number of people used these walls full of names but the key element here was getting a human being back into it. And better still to capture an appropriate aged hand in the act of touching the wall. It's that idea that elevates this shot abocve the others. Well done and well deserved.

I was hoping this one would win. Excellent shot.
Post actions
Congratulations on your first ribbon! And blue at that!! Well deserved <> :D

This brings back incredible feelings. I got to see the wall once. I imediately burst into tears. I have never seen an object so simple in form hold so much emotion. I didn't have time to vote on this challenge, but if I had, this may have been the only ten I've ever (woulda) given out. I'm trying to hold back the tears now as I look at this. Kudos.

Excellent job! The toning is great, and it's certainly an emotional shot. Congrats on a job well done.
Post actions
My pick of the litter. Great capture, emotionally gripping, and beautiful b/w tones. :o)

outstanding! very moving and powerful image.

Very nice! I love how the hand meets its reflection, as if in prayer -- or perhaps the wall touching the hand to offer comfort.
Post actions
Your picture choked me up. 10++
Post actions
I like this and the use of the reflection. However, to mee the other hands are distracting --it's hard to tell how many are here. And the hand isnt in sharp focus except in the reflection--more DOF is needed IMHO.
Post actions
Not an original idea in this challenge but certainly one of the best executed of this style. Emotive, recognisable and simple. Well done. 10.
Post actions
Very moving shot. I love the composition - the reflection of the hands on the wall adds so much. An emotional entry, very powerful. One of my favorites in the challenge!
Post actions
What an emotional photo - perfect in black and white

I love the way this wall creates reflections... I think this is the best in the challenge... great work... = 10
Post actions
fits the bill very nicely
Post actions
There is a lot to like about this shot. I think it is one of the best of the bunch. 9
Post actions
This is the most amazing picture I've seen yet entered into competition. Truly gorgeous shot - so filled with emotion. you get the sense of age from the hands. Really very well done - I hope you win!
Post actions
great shot and title.. would've liked to see some of the names a little more, but it's obvious what this is.
Post actions
Wonderful, my choice for the best in this challenge, simple yet a verry well told story, excellent depth and dramatism. Just great!
Post actions
beautiful - the reflection gives the illusion of hands in prayer. I like the other hands too - the viewer can see the connections between the living and the connections with those gone. Wish it were just a bit sharper. 9
Post actions
This is precisely the shot i didn't take. Just couldn't.
Post actions
A moving photograph. Yes, we do remember.
Post actions
This is a very powerful photograph full of emotion. It meets the challenge with no doubt. I think titles can add to a photo as well as take away, your title ADDED to the photo. As far as the picture I think your lighting is good with good use shadows. Focus right on and the use of B&W works well – wow you can feel the emotion. Great job 10.
