Comment by Phocal:
This would have been so much better without the person in it and maybe B&W. The person seems so off to me because this is a very old graveyard that looks completely overrun with weeds. Why someone would be mourning at a grave that appears to be 100 years old does not make sense to me. Without the person (but keep the rose) this could have been one of my favorite.

Very poignant. For the happily married, one train of thought you avoid is the time when one will have to go on without their spouse. This image hits a bit too close to home.
The single rose is a nice touch. But her posture is also saying so very much - not the immediate denial and shock of loss, not the angry questions of why, but the sad acceptance of the situation combined with a sadness of the loss of what was. Maybe even the power of love reaching across the gulf of death.

I'm enjoying being part of the DPL "First 10" Challenge. Yours is photo #6 in my random voting stream.

I read Umberto Eco many years ago. You've quoted the last line of the book and filled your photo with further mystery. Exceptionally processed and appropriately feathered. Kudos.

It appears as though he was born in 1831, so he'd be a bit old to be her husband, but I like the sentiment. Nice to add a person to the shot.
