I entered this in the diagonal challenge first but after a day I thought of this title and moved it to this challenge. Glad I did.
I really thought the beach was too dirty to look really good but I see it was overlooked in favor of the subject - as I had hoped.
WOW, I'm still pinching myself! |
I'd imagine it would have ribboned in the diagonal challenge as well but definitely does fit this challenge to a tee. |

| Contemporary photo. Nice lines, good (well, connected anyway) message. I like the composition with your placement of the man in the extreme upper left and the lines formed by the crosses add a natural element for the viewer. Only minor bummer...very minor...is being able to see the edge of this layout just past the man. Would be nice to think the rows extend unended (not for numbers of the fallen - just from a perspective viewing point). Well done. Good luck in the challenge. |

| What an AWESOME shot! :) The lines of crosses lead the eye into the shot and the man adds a point of interest. Extremely well composed and a perfect balance of highlights and shadows. I'm assuming this is the memorial in Santa Monica - what a sobering sight to see in person... |
