Shot in a catholic graveyard near my house. I was looking for "fallen" heroes and when I came across that soldier's grave. "Forgot" to use flash to lighten the counter exposed subject but managed to recover shadows from RAW.

I like how detailed the moss on the stone is in this image.. it might have been a little better if the flag was not in the composition or mabe if you were standing a little bit more to the right.. great colors though:)
