Flesh and Stone...pondering the life of Rachael

One of the pieces of work that Sarah and I did...Work in the Garden of Stones...Now while people are celebrating halloween and death..come on be honest..it's about death...cemetaries and such are popular places now.
But there is a reality beyond the belief in spirits,ghosts, goblins ,spooks and.. the belief also that these entities must congregate where the dead are buried.. The name carved in these stone flowers remind us that someone lived....at least for a moment in time.

    The description really brings context to the photo. The photo is well done. The composition and emotion/mood of the photo are well executed.

    Again she found just right direction toward the camera. Her expression is soft and touching. Fitting for the setting she is in . Are there any more of her for us to shoot? She is wonderful!

    Provocative and beautiful image, Donald. Your processing evokes a somewhat lonely mood which fits the image perfectly. Nice work.
