    Nice picture.

    I like it but I think I would have liked it better with a little more of the hand. Not sure though.

    I actually have more of the hand in the original but I felt that it was over exposed to the point it was distracting to the rest of the photo. Maybe, I'll post the original for comparison . . .

    I really like how you yourself is reflected off the marble or stone... I think the real hand is distraction... if you took it out of the picture totally, it would be a very natural and calm fine piece of art.

    The picture was taken at the Vietnam Memorial in Washington, DC. The monument is a wall inscribed with the 50+ thousand names of those who lost their lives. People visit to find family names. Some even take a piece of paper and hold it to a name while rubbing pencil lead along the name getting an image. It is always a somber experience to watch people here.

    The gentlemen in the picture was looking for and found the name he was seeking. I was fortunate enough to catch him when he found it . . .
