At the cemetery late this afternoon - here's who I stumbled upon - but she never knew it

1. That's kinda bizzare

the way her shoes are over there and she's all stretched out. Almost like a person would be lying after being hit by a bullet or something.........

2. How sad

Is that overseas somewhere? Trying to read the headstones, but it looks to be in a foreign language

3. I did not get the impression of sad

I think she just wanted to commune with the quiet.
The cemetery is God's Acres, Moravian Cemetery in Winston-Salem, NC. My back yard.

4. I just picked up on

the fact one of the photos is color and one is not :)

5. She looks so completely relaxed.

I wonder if she is laying in the midst of her family's plot.

6. I love the b/w one.

I found myself pondering this one for a long time. It's very thought provacative and mysterious. The composition just adds to the mystery with the shoes. I wonder if she's trying to be 'close' to lost loved ones; is she 'communicating' with someone, is she sad or resigned? So many ways to feel about this photo. Really nicely done!

8. She was either out of it in a good and trusting way,

or she did not care about the fact that there were noises about her. I was with 5 others all of whom disturbed the vibe in the air even if we might not have made noise.

I clicked quickly and without real framing, I did not want to disturb the opportunity of catching this shot.
I think it's one I'll treasure, some of it thanks to you'all's feedback.

As a matter of fact it was a "I'm glad I got this shot without making my subject mad"shot.
If ever I will win a contest again I might consider it as a subject matter.

7. So I take it she never signed the model's waiver

uh oh
