It is so sad looking at this. 24 years of Life, gone too soon without living to his full potential, and fighting in a seemingly endless war in a distant land. Respectful capture, and never forget how many rows there are behind Joshua. Thank you for sharing your vision. The statement within the photograph needs to be said.

I'm afraid this photograph gives me no particular reason to care about Joshua Brent Showalter. If there's some logic behind your decision to focus on his grave, it doesn't come through. As it is, it looks like a random choice of innumerable similar gravestones, with the only purpose of showing the name being an attempt to create some kind of emotional impact--which, because of its apparently arbitrary nature, does not work.

Well done. The focus on this stone extends the message across those that aren't in focus. I like it

Nice shot and sentiment but as far as bokeh it's a little too bright to be appealing to my eye.

guess you don't like any professional sports then? this surfer looks fit! big ol' arms! multicolored weed stickers are apparently not making this guy eat too many cheetos

i love the intense look of concentration of the surfer in the midst of the chaotic splash of the water

This has an ethereal quality. A bit busy, but nature is.
