Rather noisy, soft/blurry and some of the worst CA I've ever seen. Which is not meant to diminish the importance of the subject in any way. It is very moving.
This has a lot of potential as a subject - however the image itself has some technical flaws. Because of the flaws, I am giving it a 3
First, the image appears very blurry as if no specific area is actually fully in focus.
Second, the colors of the image are very washed out - the yellows and blues are very pale.
Third, the perspective on this photo could use some work. This memorial is a moving place, but not showing a full section of it (we don't see the bottom half of the wall) and seeing such a small section of it really does not do it justice. Shooting it at a much more extreme angle - get to the left and shoot down the wall might really help. If you wanted to get the reflection of the old man - i would have gotten closer to him and focused the image on him (orient the camera in vertical instead of horizontal).
