VERY nice shot. Like the wear -n- tear on the boots. Speaks volumes.

Such a poigniant shot....and very politically appropriate. Brings home the personal loss of war.

Nice shot. I like the bright yellow of the flower. I do find the edge of the tombstone right next to it distracting, though.

Nice composition, but I think the shoes should've been in more focus. Good job though, it's creative.

love the depth of field in this shot!. I am not too crazy about the flower. But it's still intersting!

I like the blurred tombstones and the flag in the background. It tells the story even if there weren't a title. Maybe the flower could be removed, but other than that, I like it.
