Artist's Comments

War veterans. American cemetery, Margaten/The Netherlands.

Daily Deviation

Given 2005-11-04

Survivors by ~orinu To me what sold me was the inclusion of the cross frame right. Why? Dunno. It just makes the whole frame work the best. I guess, not to mention the two veterans as well. I really like how one guy is looking off frame and the other is making eye contact. Well done! (Suggested by ~er0k and Featured by `cweeks)

I believe that this truly speaks volumes my friend..both in the obviousness of the man who had is leg amputated, as well as having a bit more depth with the expression / casual stance of the man on the right. I think he lends a sort of casual defiance to the whole scene..

ps, in looking further at this..I can't help but tend to feel that these two feel so out of place even though they are very much related to the surrounding graves (their fallen brothers)..but maybe that is why they feel so separate to me. two who were allowed to continue on the path of life, all..no..SO many others who were not..

:+fav: and a somber :thumbsup:
