A Moment of Silence

Comment by Kavey:
One can certainly understand the silent contemplation - and the silence of absence of the deceased. The circles of the wreaths give added visual interest. It's minor but I do feel that the umbrella shouldn't be cropped by the edge of the frame. If it were completely included, it would feel more like she's 100% in this situation, in this little snapshot of time, instead that escaping umbrella is a link to what's outside the frame. I know that's weird but I think having the key subject wholly enclosed by the frame would benefit the strength of the message.

the most origonal of the 'grave yard' shots in this challenge.. and ther were lots of them.. composition is good.. a little tighter depth of field would have added drama to the image with the background more out of focus.. nice effort..

The border is too thick, I think. The umbrella is cut off on the edge too. Otherwise, very nice tone.

Strong image but I find the other wreaths distracting
