This reflection really reaches out and touches me and that's what photojournalism is all about.

I think we need more reflective contemplation and few casualties to memorialize...

A very evocative place. You've captured it well, but everything from the small flag to the R edge of the frame could be cropped to strengthen the image. Personally, I'd lose the girl looking the "wrong" way, too.

Nice shot, a little washed out on the right side though. Everyone looks so reflective, except for the woman in the jumper. It looks like she is smiling. I guess you could've said, "hey, you, stop smiling. Look serious." Ha.Ha. I like the epheral feel of the reflection and the boldness of the flag on the left.

Comment by Ruth Skidmore:
Why did you fuzzy up the people? In doing so you have denied your viewer the ability to share in their emotions which are most clearly reflected in their faces. Yes the stance of the body may in fact give part of the message but not completely. The magic of photography is taking your viewer into a place they have never been and sharing it with those who were there. I have read the the rants about lack of appreciation for creativity but sometimes you defeat your viewer with it.

Very nice, all around good photo. I like how the reflection of the sky takes over the wall. It almost has a photoshop edited effect to it (even though it isnt). Curious as to how many shots you took of this before you got this one.

Tough picture. It has been taken a million times before and I have seen it almost that much :-)

So you had some big shoes to fill. Nicely done. Congratulations on your example and a very nice one it is :-)
