Fantastic image!  only thing i have to critisize is the fog/haze...   it makes
it look like it is a early morning picture but if that is the case, then the
lighting/sky is all wrong.   IMHO the grass looks like either astroturf or sod.
so the grass looks realish.  also IMHO i'd have a person kneeling infront of one
of the tombstones weeping, But i am not you and i do admit you are a far better
artist than i am.  but Overall I'd say this is a stunning picture.  and Thank
you for the dedication to all who lost their lives on Sept 11...

one of the many mourners who weep for thousands,
Jeremy
