Description

My third in the unofficial series of rose and dogtag photos....
This one is a little darker than the rest; it expresses the sadness a little more. Coming Home is bright and hopeful, and Shadow is kind of soft and sweet, but this one is depressing to me. I :heart: Brendon...he'll be home mid-April....
About the photo: I spent about 5 minutes adjusting the saturation, sharpness, and brightness.

This is a great shot - if I could give it 6 stars for impact, I would. Your statement about how sad this picture is is spot on - while I don't have any real idea what its like to have a loved one deployed in the armed services, this certainly helps convey the loneliness, sadness, and separation inherent to having people you care about separated by large distances and infrequent communication.
Technically, I really like composition of this picture. The softer focus on the dog tag, at least for me, lends a more human element to them - reminding us that the soldiers defending the country are very human folks, just like us.

Great work!
