The shot is similiar to, but offers nothing new, on a scene i've seen many times before. The subject is quite strong, But something's off on the focus on the right (for my screen) and I wish you'd taken a new view: from the ground, along the edge of a tombstone, from a tree, one with fewer trees. It just seems too snapshoty for a higher score.
I hate to say this but this photo is almost peaceful. It may be the nice colors of the sky and the soft focus, BW may of been a bit more dramatic with a lower camera angle.
Nice photo, but the fact that Arlington National Cemetary would cause you to think about fear is incredible. I've been there multiple times, and like most people I know, it does nothing but instill peacefulness, reverence, and a thought of those that died to protect me and my families. I would consider this a very poor choice for an entry as "fear"
I can't tell if you meant for this to be a soft focus, or if it was an accident. It is too blurry on the right, too sharp on the left. Also, the colors are a little flat. Maybe play with a touch of saturation, and boost the contrast/brightness just a touch.
This is an odd selection for fear. To me this symbolizes bravery, honor and courage. I am not docking points because many people fear war and fear the loss of loved ones. - There is an odd distortion in several areas, mostly on the right.
IMHO. not sure about the blurred bits. looks like ya got fingerprints on the Lens. nice shot otherwise. maybe B&W would set the mood more and a grey, dull day. A bit too pretty for "Fear". "6" Dogman ;]
Nice angle. The out of focus area to the right draws the eye away from the lines of the photo. Maybe if it was more in focus. I just don't feel the fear in death so I am not sure I feel it with this photo.
