good photo. to me the shadow looks like a little girl. really must be a fear for parents to loose her child. maybe a less DOF would be better. that way the background would be more blurred and wouldn't distract from the main object.
That looks like a little kid's shadow, which makes this a much more frightening scenario. Another idea, (not better, just different) would have been the shadow of the Grim Reaper cast onto the tombstone. I like the black and white for this, and my only suggestion would be to "move" the shadow up the stone a little. karmat
This photo really makes me think... The perspective on the stone is a little odd since it looks straight on the right and off balance on the left, but I know this is from the camera angle... I think that taking about two steps back and allowing some breathing room for the tombstone in the image would be nice :) I applaud your respect by not positioning this on the front side of the stone :) = 7 - jmsetzler
I'd thought about tombstones, too. but the child's shadow is an eloquent touch I'd never considered. So much more evocative. Well done concept. I wish the shadow weren't distorted quite so wide. Perhaps a different angle or another time of day? Very nice representation of challenge
I like what your photo represents for the challenge, but I'm not happy with the way it was carried out. I'm not entirely sure what I would have enjoyed seeing better. I guess the one thing that bothers me is the brightness of the tombstone.
