Rondebosch Anglican church graveyard. Cape Town. Graves mostly from the mid 1800's.
"All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts"
(Shakespeare: As You Like It)

What a SHOT! So emotive, so well lit. Contrast of youth with death, her white dress and everything else dark. Her barefoot, suggesting innocence to go with her youth ...
Good perspective. Having the girl barefooted is a very effective detail, I think, though I really couldn't verbalize why. It just looks "right." Also, I like that you have someone actually "exiting" what looks like a gravesite rather than just the grave site itself.
The subject in this photo is very intriguing, there could be several different meanings to it. I also like the fact that it is in black and white and the image is very clear.
I like the processing and the comp...I just wish we could see just a little more of her face as it looks like just hair...very good image for the challenge, I hope you do well with this
I like the photo although the girl is a bit too centered, I might have cropped more off the right hand side. You made a mistake in your title, should be "in", not "is". Title is a bit long, first part of title might have been enough and fit the photo more.
