 Grave marker for Civil War soldier killed in action

[Jan. 23rd, 2012 01:36:47 PM]

People are wondering why this is at such an angle. I was trying to symbolize the moment of falling for the fallen soldier. Evidently it didn't work so well. Point taken...

For me the tilt is not an improvement for the image.

Your subject fits the title and is nicely emotive, however I'm not keen on the really skewed angle.
