Unkown Soldier Tomb

What do you guys think of this one? I was unsure weather to clone the people out, or to leave them in...overall i really liked this one.

The people don't bother me. I do wish the grave stone lines came together at the bottom.
Don't know if that is possible with your position and lens. Perhaps a bit lower viewpoint with less sky would have brought them together.
Overall it is a nice shot, in my bumbling amateur opinion.

Mwitt - I think the people are Ok. I like that amount of sky and I really like the branch up there too, creates dimensionality. But I just can't take how the gravestones are cut off. There should be more of them and as Frog said, the lines should come together. Otherwise, I see this as a very peaceful and symbolic shot.

well...the problem with the grave stones is that there are thousands of them. Maybe i could clone the bottom row out so it looks like they end?

IMO, cloning the bottom row out isn't going to help much. To me the shot seems somewhat pedestrian. IF you wanted to include the gravestones with the building, I would agree that a lower angle would help.

Sure, there are many, many gravestones here. You could put as little as one gravestone in your composition, slap on a telephoto to compress the scene, and get low. That's just one way of seeing the scene, there's many more possibilities.

I agree with the others and also it seems to be leaning slightly right and is not centered in the frame. This causes it to be a weak composition.
