Attractive. I like the blue but not the cyan-green appearance as the numbers comes into definition. Regardless, the image has good movement and great balance. Bumping up to 6

I am bumping you up to 5 for effort. This would have made such a nice image because of the stark contrast between foliafe and dark branches. Notice also that the monuments and trees atr tilted. By taking advantage if using the full size allowed, and adjusting contrast and hue-sat, woud have made this a more formidable image.

Very well done. The gait is great and does give the illusion of passing time. Bumping up. 7

A very nice subject. I detect missing tones and the dome sky shading steals my attention. However, even in its current state there is something I like about this image. Bumping up to 6

Yes, dilapidation and passing time go hand in hand. Sepia is another choice of the old time photo tints. Indeed a good subject to answer the challenge. Bumping up

From the critique club:
A very nice image and very well framed. I would have focused on the soldier, but even so, it is not going to add any more interest. You did as good as anyone would have with this subject. The image certainly spells out its story and monument and flags reinforces the intent. Possibly needed was a subject, like somebody reading the inscription. Oftentimes, this is the problem of capturing these type of images, yes, they are good but when entering a challenge you want that extra touch.

You obviously know your way with the camera therefore the concern is more with just how it is that you want to present the image. Sometimes I see the possibility for a shot and I begin to visualize the best way that I would like to see the image. Sometimes we need to search and search until an idea excites us. I realize that models are not easy to come by, but hey, you could consider jumping right into the picture. Here you could looked at the inscription or look up at the face of the soldier. Sometimes, when a sight is ideal, I even return for the final shoot. So my advise is you know how to take a picture, but pay extra interest when you consider entering an image. Ask yourself, is there anything else that I can do to make this image more competitive. Look forward to seeing your future efforts.

As you know, DPC has a nude phobia. Very good work and good sense of humor. Besides with over 600 entries there is no true evaluation.
