I like it, my only critique would be that I would have stepped back a little bit as it seems tight, also you dont see that headstone on the right properly and the shadows are a bit too dark, and maybe the flare is a bit too bright, but that is only based on personal prefs.

I agree if Albertonman but I feel the shadows are fine.

Nice emotional content, I really like this picture. Perhaps a touch blown out, but the effect works. Shadows could be a bit too dark, but they work with the processing. Did you, by chance, take a portrait version -- could be better with this tighter crop or it could create (2) subjects in the photo instead of (1) and be a distraction.

Thats what I was afraid of, I really wanted her to be the main focus. Let me post a non blown out and toned down shadow version. I did it on purpose

So i changed the levels to fix the shadows everyone was talking about. I personally liked it being blown out, I should have tried to do it in post but it was shot to be blown out a little.

I like it; but I think you want "Mourning the Dead".

I love the shot, ThinkJAson...Wicked...​. but I would have to agree that stepping back, maybe about 5 paces, would have captured, your idea, and she still would have been the focus, the viewers eyes, would've still been drawn to her,seeing as she would be the only living person, surrounded by the deceased.... excellent post too.

I really like the composition. for me the image would be better a bit... darker and more contrasty. Definitely a great image.

Don't worry I got it... time of day+place... separate, but a play on words... happens to me, where the pun sometimes doesn't come across very well. :D

I love the concept! I would have titled it "Mourning in the AM" to convey the pun :)
