Hi, as requested, here is an indepth critique of your submission.
First Impression - the most important one: Hey look, I finally get to critique one for my pal :-) My first impression was that it is very touching and nicely colored and composed.
Composition: I like the square crop. If I were to change it any, I'd move the grave down to almost touching the bottom of the photo.
Subject: I think it stands out well from the background. Maybe a little less deep DoF would have helped some but not too much, I think a lot of bokah in the background would have been really distracting.
Technical (Color, focus, and light): All good. I don't think I'd change anything technically on this photo.
To grow its vote?: Voters suck, we know that ;-) It's a good shot and IMO a bit under-rated. It has emotion and thought in it.
Summary: I like it. Ofcourse you knew that. But, keep up the good work.
I think this would be better if you only focused on one of the gravestones, making it more personal. Other than that, I like the lyrical tie with the shot. 6 for me
feels like a snapshot here, perhaps if more time were spent to set the shot up would make it better (for starters, perhaps moving the flowers so you could actually see the name).
