Hi Jack nice to see you back posting have you been on holiday? Like this shot the paper texture works well with the subject. :O)

thanks mysnapz, nah just been busy with my six million other hobbies and work and getting my youngun ready for her next semester at college... I've shot a few new pics, just haven't had much time to post and play with them... Jack

Nice shot... I agree on the texture, prefect match xXxXx

Cemeteries pack so much emotion, and veteran's cemeteries even more so. You've captured it here. Looks like a scene from Saving Private Ryan, but it's real. The texture here doesn't bother me because it doesn't get in the way. Did you try a sepia tone? It might work well with the texture.

hi, i like this...captures that moment of emotion... one nitpick though, the strip of white of the grave stone at mid/lower lh is a little distracting to me...

Pictures appear to me, I shoot them.   Elliot Erwitt
