In Memory of Private John Barry Shaw (among many others at the WWI veterans memorial site)by
DudskiComment by kaiser_chief: First impressions, processing is overdone, straight on, centered composition............
But, looking deeper, there is an attempt to create something, maybe even to make a statement, to capture something that is different from the rest......maybe even to portray the wastefulness of war, the senseless loss of human life, the overall loss..........
Don't know what you did to the central gravestone, but I hope it is legal, but I fear it might not be........but I will vote as if it is.......
I now really like the processing, the statement, the image.....one of the best in the challenge. I do wonder if the crop could have been at the edge of the outside stones (cut the back ones if need be, not the front)..........
But hey, a good image..........well done for producing something both different, and one that works.
