Challenge:Even (Basic Editing III) Collection:Emotive Camera:Canon EOS-20D Location: Ft. Sam Houston National Cemetery - San Antonio Date: Nov 17, 2005 Aperture: F11 ISO: 100 Shutter: 1/10 Galleries:Emotive Date Uploaded: Nov 18, 2005
Ft. Sam Houston National Cemetery. I always think those stark even rows of clean white graves looks so noble and gallant. My mom was buried here last year. She definitely deserves to be resting in nobility and gallantry! Even tho I know she's not resting at all. . .she is dancing with the angels. But I still like paying tribute and honor to her life in a place like this.

Hey, I never even got a chance to vote, but this is excellent!
I usualy don't like graveyard shots, but this is awsome. And a very out of the box thinking. I like it!
Congrats on your 4th finish!
Great robust strength with subject presentation and time of shooting. It is an image that commends respect and admiration with its sweeping beauty. Congratulations on your top 5 finish.
At first I rated this picture a 2 because the title offended me. The death of our soldiers should not be used in a political statement for either side. Then I realized my grading was a political statement. It is a beautiful picture - well balanced and exposed perfectly. So, I changed my grade to a 9. Good job!
What a perfect capture for even! I love everything about this picture. Excellent Lighting, great composition, beautiful sky. Very thoughtful picture. 10
Indeed an eye catching photo with the brillance of the sunset over the honored fallen. You have more than met the challenge and exceeded in artistic qualities!
I lost count so will just comment. Nice capture of sunset skies. Your colors are wonderful. I hope to see this on the first page after the votes are finished.
I was a little disappointed in this challenge, until I saw your image. I found it pretty spectacular. Not only have you really met my interpretation of 'even' but you have captured the scene beautifully. The colour of the sky (and clouds) the darkness of the tree and the stark white of the markers. Great shot.
Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery? I suppose there are many others that look the same :-) The connection to "even" is tenuous at best here, but it's a nice image.
Oh, this is just stunning. The rows of tombstones against the beautiful sky with that looming tree. WOW. I love the leading line of it. Great clarity too. 10 10 10
