Arlington National Cemetary

I'm impressed that this man served in both WWI and WWII.

Very touching image.

Chris, I can post a larger file tonight. To save space I've been downsizing my images to about 800x600. When I "save for web" the exif gets lost by pbase, so I don't get to do that kind of compression of large dimensions until I recompress on pbase. I had been using 70mb, until I recompressed every image on pbase and now am using only 22mb. Your point is taken.

The light and shade brings beauty to this sombre scene.
May I mention one point to everybody, if you put up a photograph with detail like this,
please can you make it a larger file so that I can click on original and, in this case, read more of the stones.
Thank you.

This one is excellent! Love the crop, and I agree, the personal names make it so powerful.

Thank you. Nice to see you visiting again Patrick. I appreciate your comments, especially given your B&W expertise. Of course, I appreciate everyone's positive comments. :) Jeff, you _could_ wander here for quite some time. I spent 2 1/2 hours.

Fine image, Mark. The tonal range is excellent, the dramatic lighting is powerful, and the point of view sets up a great DOF showcase. Nicely done.

Ditto what Ann said. This one has soo much emotion.
Guest 29-Feb-2004 01:20
I commented on the other before seeing this one. This would be my favorite. More personal, more painful. Excellent photo.

I could spend a very long time wandering here.
