I was wondering when you would enter this! Although the composition is different than I expected, I think it works great. The flower is a nice touch.

Just my luck, the flower was already on the grave.

great shot.

wow.... THAT's a creepy inscription. I wonder what they meant by that

That's why there's so much speculation behind the grave. Her husband had the head stone made and he was a bit of a nut.

Awesome capture...perhaps the husband was the 'Beast'

I actually did more research on the grave. It turns out that the husband always hated the government and well, he referred to the government as the beast that killed her.

Hrmmm... interesting. Thanks for sharing the info

Very interesting = )

Funny story: As soon as this contest was revealed, I KNEW I wanted a picture of this headstone. I had not photographed one yet (mainly because the headstone is so hard to find. Big cemetery) and had planned out to go shoot it. I had many others I could have used but I just had a feeling this one would cause the most interest. I guess I was right.

Congrats, well deserved

Congrats = )

Congratulations, it's a wonderful shot.
