Love the sky and detail. HDR, right? A little dark, but can't deny this is a strong entry. 7

I really love the sky and the nice cool grass. I would have broken off that branch in the top left though.

The post processing is so much to be desired. Most often less is more.

A composition that shows the price of freedom - those who served, fought and died to preserve the ideals of freedom and what this nation stands for. Yes, their sacrifice is a part of the American landscape on several levels. Lighting is good as is the colors of this shot. However the visual appeal could have been greatly improved had you made the utmost of leading lines and your vanishing point. Show us the lines of graves that span a great distance. Show us - make us understand how many have laid down their lives for what we enjoy today. Pull back a little such that you can have one tombstone that we can read that dominates the bottom left hand corner but then compose the shot that the line it begins ends at the top right corner. The way the eye travels the leading lines near and far getting a sense of distance - of great sacrifice. My other suggestion is that if you have a camera with the capabilities of swiveling the viewfinder down such that you can hold the camera above you to shoot down you might want to take advantage of it - and even if not sometimes just trying it from a new angle might result in the capture you wanted or a happy accident. The full on straight shot may not give you the depth you want to show us. Taking the shot from a slightly higher angle with the leading lines & vanishing point in mind would, I feel, show more rows of graves to fill the frame. Further giving the viewer the scope and impact of how many lives made the sacrifice.

Another CD. Its colors are weak and the overall distribution of the colors don't look well balanced for me. Because of the nature of the effect caused by the reflex, it doesn't look well focused, but this affects only the impact of the photo, not my evaluation about the focus used on the image. 3.

Very good exposure for what looks a shot taken at a time just before the golden hour. Very bright!
