It's a really interesting composition. I think the tone is very well achieved. Maybe too close? Too much zoom? I wonder, not convienced about my own comment to be honest

Sarah from Suisse, Switzerland
This is a really touching photo. My first reaction was to wonder if there was a name on the other side - made me quite sad! Really well done, Rags.

@Sarah: Thank you. I checked it out and did not see any name to the headstone. This grave actually was a lone grave, that was laid far away from the rest of the graves.
@amirreza: Thank you for visiting.
@Standley: Thank you very much.

This is a great shot. Allows for many interpretations. The lack of engraving makes it seem almost like the blank slate that we are offered at birth...to do with what we will, filling in the blanks as we go. A reminder to live life to the fullest :)

A very good shot, and it conveys that sad mood associated with our final resting place.
