Neatly trimmed national cemeteries inspire a reverance different from any other cemetery. Good job capturing that.

Great photo - I someshow would have liked to see green in this photo - but it could be the wrong time of year. Awesome job!

The trees in back are a little distracting, but overall, very nice composition

Nice scope of vision and perspective. The colors aren't right for me, though. The partial de-sat has left the grass looking like a dirty gray with a sickly green cast. I would have preferred either the color left or a full de-sat of all color and contrast bumped up. BUT- just a personal opinion. The angle is a little satis - it may give it more impact if the image was cropped at the upper horizon line.

I also went to a national cemetery, took many pictures... but none as excellent as this one. I think knowing what it takes to create a great pic like yours tend to force a higher score as token of appreaciation. 8

powerful shot. Selective desat is good but somehow I miss the green of the grass

Very moving pivture, any picture that evokes felling has done it's job.

Great choice in angle and perspective, makes the composition really strong. Congratulations

not sure why you faded the green, but i like the framing and the centering on the flowers, best of the military grave feilds so far.

I am making two passes on this Challenge. I will vote on your photo then return later(before voting is over) to comment on what I like and dislike about your shot. You can take the comments however you wish and I will try not to be mean. Just don't take it the wrong way.

That is a big cemetery. I like the POV. The flowers add a nice touch.

Very nice. I wish you had desat the flowers a little more so that they were more subdued

Great perspective and composition, a litle bit lacking in contrast - still in my top five. 9.

Nice work. The attention is drawn to the center and allowed to explore the entire shot. Nice use of partial desat! This should do well.
