Balls Bluff Battlefield Cemetery near Leesburg VA is (as far as I know) the smallest National Cemetery. 56 buried all but one of them unknown.

This is what I got.

I like your choice of b/w. The single leaf adds to the mood as well.

I like the subject and the look in general, but, frankly, the I find the tilt a little distracting.

Good choice for black and white photography. Interesting subject, and off hand I'd imagine that it is the smallest National Cemetery unless there's one in the Pacific (there is one very small one on Guam) that is tinier.

The photography is well done. I wonder if a little different focus, though not the whole image super sharp, might strengthen the photo and allow for slightly more contrast and improved tones. The slight softness adds to the age and the downward lean/tilt adds to the melancholy.

Thanks for showing this one.

Agreed! It can be straightened out in post-processing.

I sort of like the forward lean but I did over do it compared to reality. I don't know if I will redo the print but I will experiment with less rotation.

Good eyes guys.
