 While looking for someone I came across a headstone marked with the name 'DEATH'. The stone face has no dates and that gave me a dreadful sensation and very thoughful few moments. Note that someone has visited and laid out two candles.
I made the frame wide to allow for a natural feel in a 'real' cemetery setting.

Resize, a small increase in light and sharpness.

Here, the pain lies in the viewer, presumably.

This one is growing on me. The pun didn't work for me until I noticed the name(?) on the stone. Not really pain, though.

Nice to see that something managed to walk away from death, hehehehe.

I like it, simple and very effective.
