It may or may not be intentional, but I like the way the prop angle echos the angle from her hand to opposite shoulder.

He seems to be checking out the girls, lol. But it's a nice catch w/ the bike and the flag.

I'm not liking the way the cotnrast faded the flag, and blacked out the faces. Makes them look somewhat monstrous (or like Marvin the Martian).

Forgotten

OK, a little explanation. My "extreme" was to think of one of the worst things that could happen to a person. And that would be for it to be as if you never existed - to be totally forgotten.

I intentionally went for grainy (upped the film speed even though it was a dark spot on a rainy day), which apparently translated to "blurry" for some. I wasn't too happy that the tombstone was so blown out, but I thought it emphasized the "forgotten-ness" so didn't work too hard on fixing it.

Thanks for all the comments. And 3 10s, wow!
