I like the grainy effect.

Charlene this is a really cool capture. I love the bluish, ghostly tones of the etchings. Actually, the brownish reflections look kind of ghostly as well. Excellent perspective.

I'm kind of laughing that you brought your camera on a date lol. But I guess I am not surprised either. How cute that you got to go see him!

This photo has such a classic and nostalgic feel to it. The soft white lighting all over is so very cool. What a beautiful place to get together.

Oh Charlene - I so loved this during voting. It's horribly underrated. The way you captured this space, the B&W processing and the softness all make it very romantic and timeless. Great job.

Way, way underappreciated by the voting masses. This is lovely.

This is the most beautiful shot I have seen in ages. As Jon pointed out, there is a nostalgic almost sad feel to it, like an old Bogart movie or a voyage on the Titanic. This may be your very best photo to date (IMHO of course).

Black and white absolutely MAKES this photo. If I can seen it in voting (I did not make it all the way through) it would have scored a 10.

In all honesty, I am not surprised that it is yours.

Grrr I cant believe that after trailing me in the scores all week I ended up eating your dust right at the end

A beautiful atmospheric shot which has a haunting/slightly sad quality to it. I love the black and white conversion you have used. The low key and slight noise works really well in this case

A very nice image

ETA....Hahahaha I only just saw your comment....I dont know whether to try and act all tough by saying "Of course I made you wait...treat 'em mean keep 'em keen" or point out the truth of the matter which is that I was working but actually arrived earlier than estimated!!!!

Has a very old time feel about it. Like it's a scene from an old b/w movie.

I find this a most interesting photo, and under-appreciated by the voters. I really like the sense of chaos, which could be a deliberate metaphor for the war. I think you should consider entering this in some different venues. It may not be the "right" kind of eye-candy shot for DPC, but has a lot of merit and is a photo of which you should be proud.

I TOLD you we should have photographed the Liberty Bell!!!

I really cant believe that this did not score better although the fact that 17 people scored it 7 or higher does show that there were people out there who really liked it

I love the fact that you managed to catch so much of the etched faces and bodies on the memorial together with glimpses of the reflections of the statues behind it

A great memory of a lovely day
