Re: PESO - 'Not to be forgotten'
Thanks Bob. It could benefit from better light but the facility doesn't open to the public untill 9 am, 3 hours after sunrise but I was pleased to have some cloud cover. Its very sobering to read the headstones as to the places the veterans served.

You got a good sky for the background and an excellent composition. The rows of headstones with flags gives way to a field of gravestones in back. A nice homage to the personal sacrifices and the enormity of the losses. Regards, Bob S. On Mon, Jun 2, 2014 at 2:00 PM, Ken Waller wrote: Taken at the National Cemetery in Holly, Michigan.

Re: PESO - 'Not to be forgotten'
Thanks Dan. With that particular image I was simply trying to get both the markers and the flags in the same scene but in a different take than showing the front of the markers. Kenneth Waller http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/kennethwaller - Original Message - From: "Daniel J. Matyola" Subject: Re: PESO - 'Not to be forgotten' That is a strong composition. I am certain I would have placed the camera so that the central row of markers formed a straight vertical line, but your angle of perspective works better than than.

Re: PESO - 'Not to be forgotten'
Thanks Paul. I was at the cemetery for around 2 hours and had explored all the areas before I picked 3 spots that seemed promising. The image posted was among the last taken. On review of all the images I saw many scenes that I didn't fully explore but I'm quite happy with the one posted.

I can only guess at how difficult it was to arrive at a frame and perspective that worked here. Paul On Jun 2, 2014, at 3:00 PM, Ken Waller wrote: Taken at the National Cemetery in Holly, Michigan.
