 A historic cemetery in my area. Shot taken early morning with low sun...tried to find the most interesting angle..flags were left by people who occasionally visit and spruce up the cemetery...did a little cloning to make name on gravestone in foreground illegible..used some adjustments in curves; and a little sharpening with unsharp filter

Graves of sacrifice. Bumping up on good rustic look.

This is my second go-around =) - very nice... I really like how you captured flags with the tombstones.

Simply perfect. The lighting, tones and contrasts, and color are just fantastic.

Have said on a couple of other flag images that "Without wishing to offend, the patriotic call implicit in the flag may switch off some non-US voters - very slightly cheapens the image for me as it feels as though the symbol is being used to evoke an emotive response that the picture would not otherwise demand." Not sure about this one - the flags do add the interest. My response would vary depending on whether I knew the flags were there before you took the shot, or whether you added them for interest (the latter would make me feel that the image was "hollow").

Nice use of light and shadow, though. good colouration.

EDIT: Glad to hear by PM that my cynical thoughts are unfounded (hope no offence caused!). Flags add the needed interest point.

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.

Nice. I think if you would have desaturated it except the red and blue. Then you would have a photo with a lot more punch.
