Thanks for the comments. As hokie said the gravestone iteself is angled. Maybe I should have chosen a different stone, but oh well. But in general I made people think, and thats better than making people feel warm and fuzzy on the inside, like most people's pictures here try to do. So it was a success.

just so people know, i am not a leper

I see the comments about eh headstone angle but remember guys, the background is at the correct angle (trees, ground etc ) which told me that the headstone was naturally angled which added to the interest of the shot.

Easily the most thought provoking shot here and my favorite. Can you make a hi rez image available?

depressing but very well taken

Powerful image...is this the promise being made, or broken?

The guys hand isn't the most beautiful hand I've ever seen....

Yeah, I really like this one. The black and white is very effective. What if the background was blurred a little bit so you could still tell there are tombstones back there. It might make the foreground stand out even more.

 04/24/2002 10:56:00 AM
good idea. The tombstone is leaning just a bit, b&w is good for this shot

Good symbolism.

beautiful crisp shot. Great contrast, great composition.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/23/2002 04:08:00 PM
Eerie. Would a softer foucs on the hands improve this? I'm not sure...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/23/2002 12:21:00 PM
Great idea, and a nice shot to boot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/23/2002 05:44:00 AM
very nice transition interpretation
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/23/2002 05:37:00 AM
compelling shot - transition from single to sad?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/23/2002 04:54:00 AM
I know this might sound strange, but the two hands don't seem... "intimate" enough? I think I would prefer to see both of their hands like in a real wedding ceremony.

Interesting idea for a picture. Works really well in black and white.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/22/2002 09:37:00 PM
Very nice depth of field
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/22/2002 05:00:00 PM
This photo makes me think... I'm divorced... :( but it had nothing to do with photograph ;) I also love black and whites and your 'tranistion' concept here is getting you a good score. Only suggestion I could make is to straighten up the stone in the frame a little... nice job!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/22/2002 12:52:00 PM
Where is the white in this Black & gray?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/22/2002 10:43:00 AM
I really get what is trying to be said here...This is obviously a couple of men's hands...In a cemetary...This is great stuff and great irony...Hopefully this will signal the end of gay wedding proposals in cemetaries

humm, creepy, real, nice shot and like the b&w.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

At first the image disturbed me a bit for some reason. The mariage ring and headstone are a perfect match and I like the great depth of field here. Probably my favorite image here and wouldn't mind if you could provide for a larger high eefinition version for my files.

Morbid & dont marry a leper

Interesting concept does your camera shoot B&W or was it converted later in a photo program?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/22/2002 07:52:00 AM
What a neat photo!!!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/22/2002 07:49:00 AM
Very strong photo! B&W works well here.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/22/2002 06:48:00 AM
I love the symbolism of your photo. The background is also attractive and well focused.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/22/2002 05:50:00 AM
morbid interpretation of the wedding vows :) B&W works well for this. good entry.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/22/2002 04:05:00 AM
Nice interpretation.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/22/2002 04:05:00 AM
Great photo and idea.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/22/2002 03:57:00 AM
very good idea, black and white makes it
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/22/2002 03:24:00 AM
Nice idea, but the gravestone isn't centered and is a little crooked.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/25/2002 10:28:00 AM
look at me, I think this actually means something
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/25/2002 08:48:00 AM
Nicely composed, and lots of texture visible.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

One of the better subjects in this whole contest. The picture is kinda grainy. Is that intentional? Did you try different camera angles or try this same shot during different times of the day to give the hands slightly more interesting shadows? The lack of shadows suggest that this shot was taken at noon.
