I am not sure why he touched me so much out of all the hundreds of shots and 5 places I visited over the week. I actually took this late at night and came back the next day and my battery died. So I just thought it was meant to be.
Did black and white to help w/the headstones in the back and darkness of the shot w/out having to lighten and fade any of the colors out. Cut out the black layer back to color around the flowers, flags, and cross.

Oh, this makes me so sad!!! I hope this isn't one of your loved ones! It's areally good phoot. I like the black backdrop, but just for emotive impact, I'm giving it extra points.
I am making two passes on this Challenge. I will vote on your photo then return later(before voting is over) to comment on what I like and dislike about your shot. You can take the comments however you wish and I will try not to be mean. Just don't take it the wrong way.
