  Excellent position and use of the wide angle lens for sure. The simple colors and the pattern are nice. I would shoot that same shot at different times of the day and with different sky conditions as well to see if anything changes. Also, I would try some shots with the foremost headstone in sharpest focus. Cool shot, where is this?

  This was at the Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery in St. Louis on Memorial Day. It's actually an optical illusion in that the headstones are in a valley that slopes in from all sides, making it look like I used a fisheye. I had to crop it at the top a little due to some unsightly backyards just beyond the fence.

  AMAZING image, Tom. Incredible composition and perspective. The perfectly placed flags take this shot over the top! --Lisa

  Thank you all!!! When I see the work of my competitors, I often told myself I was out of my league and could not possibly win. I was shocked when I saw the "Editor Pick" and when the 1st place winner notification came, it was just too much!! Thanks again for all of your wonderful comments!!
