Thank you, Mark, the second picture is probably one of my favorite of all time. It was shot using a 40 plus year old Vivitar 135mm prime lens. the lens is a best-kept secret! You can clearly see a fly sitting on the headstone of the front grave. But the reason i took this shot was the fallen flower. to me, it represented the fallen soldiers who never mad it out alive.
"All gave some, some gave all." Thank you for sharing that viewpoint.
That lens is no secret to me! I have the same lens in a Pentax K-mount that I used for decades on both of my ME Super's. That lens shows two things...how far ahead Vivitar was at the time and how quickly they fell behind. It was and still is a great lens. Such a great value for the quality at the time!
Again, thank you for sharing such a powerful photo. Good work my friend.
