I really like this! I can really feel his emotions as he is looking at the wall, you've caught him holding his stogie while he searches for names I only wish that a nice breeze had been out to fully extend that flag beside him. That would have beautifully framed this capture! And good job on the focus, being able to read the names on the panel he is looking at while still getting the patch details on his jacket is nice!

Sev808 In reply to skyounkinzero [2013-10-15 04:05:02 +0000 UTC]

You misunderstand me, the place belongs to the veterans in the sense that they can never be closed. that's like closing a cemetery. It just doesn't happen. People should have the ability to pay their respects 24/7/365.

Thank you so much.  I have some more waiting to be put up, but I don't want to flood DA with photos from the protest yesterday in DC.  


This sounds spammy, I know, but all the other photos from the march are on my facebook page if you want a sneak peek.
