Nice tribute for memorial day. Wish it were better focus. Great idea just not that great on the execution. Better luck next time.

Very interesting composition that tells a good story. Needs sharper focus, and would like to see a little more detail in the sky.

Rather noisy, soft/blurry and some of the worst CA I've ever seen. Which is not meant to diminish the importance of the subject in any way. It is very moving.

Did you zoom this shot? Blurry...should have been closer to subject for clarity..could have been a lot better...

This has a lot of potential as a subject - however the image itself has some technical flaws. Because of the flaws, I am giving it a 3

First, the image appears very blurry as if no specific area is actually fully in focus.

Second, the colors of the image are very washed out - the yellows and blues are very pale.

Third, the perspective on this photo could use some work. This memorial is a moving place, but not showing a full section of it (we don't see the bottom half of the wall) and seeing such a small section of it really does not do it justice. Shooting it at a much more extreme angle - get to the left and shoot down the wall might really help. If you wanted to get the reflection of the old man - i would have gotten closer to him and focused the image on him (orient the camera in vertical instead of horizontal).
