I Can Only Watch

Shot on a sunny afternoon in July in an effort to counter the several million "tourist"

snapshots that are taken in our shrine to the country's greatest president.

 

I hope you like. Thanks for taking a look.

An unexpected view of a too familiar image that is quite powerful. The way you brought out the details of Lincoln/s face make it appear lifelike. You can almost sense him pondering the gravity of a decision. A good piece of portraiture.

I agree with the above comments completely. You captured an expression with which most of us are not familiar in as much as we have seen the face of Lincoln innumerable times. There is truly a sadness and apondering and it is almost as if he is ready to speak.

 

Great shot and composition.
