I quite like this. It's quiet and simple, it stands out as being "respectful" in a challenge noteworthy for its images of neglect. I'd like it better if you'd moved tight just a little bit so the angel and the tree did not end on the exact same vertical line.

Very nice cemetary feel to this picture. Didn't quite like the threes in the background, but I guess cutting them down was out of the question ;)

I'll I can say is, "...............................?"

There really was no sneaky idea behind the photo, nor any kind of, well, anything. I like the shallow DOF, I needed a picture for my website, there happened to be a stock challenge. I don't get why it did so poorly, but I can't say I get why people are so jazzed about it either, not that I'm complaining mind you ;-).

Thanks for the votes and the comments!

I love everything about this photo, except that the horizen could be straightened.

First of all, as you have probably seen there are a lot of angel shots in this contest. Yours is the best of them. Second, apart from the relativity to other angel shots, this is a great photo. Good title, too. I like how the book is only half-full, even though the cemetery is packed. Reminding us that it is a never ending, continual process (life and death). This statue will outlive all of us and keep ours, as well as their stories. 9
