Apologies - no time for a 'Longer Look' comment before challenge end. I'll come back after.
Back to update this comment. Apologies, I'd forgotten I'd be in an Internet black hole before rollover.
I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.
Positives: A moment of silence indeed - yet you have communicated the sound of it magnificently. As a memorial this photograph is important, a permanent moment of remembrance - how much more powerful than the temporary flora that flanks your image. The human element of your brother's quiet form anchors the image and your choice of toning for the image is perfect.
Critical stuff: Nothing at all
Overall: An image that resonates with our lives.
