I do look as if I am bowing to memory of the dead, here. (As Tim notes, I am looking down into my viewfinder.) I like the way you found an anchor for this image -- that large stone echoes, in its own way, the tiny stones that are left on the gravesites and monument.

I like the way that you have created a sense of double "reverence" here. - the coins on the rock in the foreground speak of visitors, and, even though I know it is Phil stooped over near the monument working on an image, there is a sense of reverence in his stance. And, really, a sense of reverence in the spirit with which he is taking the picture.
