This was at the funeral of my ex-brother-in-law who was a 20 year vet and 10 year FEMA emergency worker - spent his life serving others. I was just part of the crowd at the grave and took this handheld shot just prior to the service starting. Glad it made people think.

I think maybe if you wouldve taken the shot from a different angle, maybe closer to the coffin to focus more on the coffin itself and the man starring down at it wouldve worked better
