Remembering those paid a terrible price.......
After visiting the American Cemetery in Normandy I have wanted to do my own homage. Here it is. "Final Salute"

No.....but there was a couple spots where I cloned out some distractions......I did it quickly without much attention to detail.

If I had the opportunity to go to Europe, the American cemetery at Normandy is at the top of my "must visit" list, my dad came ashore shortly after D-Day. I never heard him tell any war stories. For as solemn a holiday as Memorial Day is intended to be, it is sad how all that has been commercialized by retail. I know, I work retail. Rather than honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice, most of what I see are ads for Memorial Day sales. GOOD GRIEF.
I like the central location of the flag pole with the monument and kneeling soldier in one of the center of interest spots. I feel the somewhat grey sky and darker exposure add much to the feel of this photo. Maybe a bit tighter cropping off the bottom but that is purely an opinion. Great photo.
Salute To A Fallen Comrade.
