This isn't a really tombstone. I used my last name and came up with a random first name. Not long to live at all. Poor lad, if it was real. I used plaster cement to get the molds made and cut out and hand carved the name and date. Placed the hand sized statue in the front garden.
This might just end up last place since some of my friends have told me it doesn't fit the theme. It would, if it was... "Too short".
You really seem to work pretty hard for all of your pictures. I can see why this picture gets "only" average score of 5, its very well balanced, technically working but doesn't push the idea forcefully down the throat of every viewer. There doesnt seem to be much wrong in it, but something is simply missing to catch the attention at first and then meld in the fine details.
With more practice behind the lens and these kind of pictures score average of 8.
10+++ This is the same idea I had :) ... but was stuck in an office from morning to night! Really great and very right on topic. Good job & good luck!!!
