Cool photo. It's too bad the jet wasn't sharper, as it could have been really great.

I like how the church is a tad underexposed, it just adds to the spooky feel. It looks like there may be some sharpening halos around the roofline.

I just love the deep blue in the wheel. The photo is very simple yet effective.

Overall it seems a tad dark, yet it really fits the photo. This looks very peaceful.

Initial Reaction
Reverence

Subject
There are many memorials all over the world. Sometimes when we visit one we are touched in our souls. For me it was Pearl Harbor, and for you it was here. Although I have never been to this place, I feel that you have captured the essence of it very well.

Composition
The perspective here is perfect. I really like the way that you lead us through the picture from the memorial stone back to the resting places. My only thought for improvement would have been to cut off the top of the archway on the right. The partial wreath pulls my eye a bit away from the main subjects of the scene.

Lighting and Color
I feel that your use of selective desaturation here is perfect. It provides a pop point of where you want us to start looking when we first see your picture. From there we are lead into the back part of the photo. I know that you had no control over the weather that day for lighting, but I actually feel that the cloudy day and subsequent lighting is very appropriate for this subject.

Thank you again for sharing and if you have any questions about this critique please send me a pm!

Congratulations on winning the cup dude... I assume this was when you were out of action b/c of injury? There's a lot going on in this image, i.e too many distractions from what you want the viewer looking at, the ball. Tighter crop would have really helped this... IMHO
