Veteran's Candlelight Tribute

[tirediron]

Okay, I know this isn't the best way to get critique, but in this case there are (1) Too many images and (2) I'm more interested in critique of the collection as a whole.

The background: God's Acre is the name of the Veteran's cemetery in Victoria. For the last several years they have held a candlelight tribute to our veterans. The theme this year was a "past and present" idea, where a veteran was paired up with a child; each pair placed a candle on a veteran's headstone.

My aim when shooting this was to try and capture some of the emotion of the event in a photo-journalist style. What I most want to know from those of you who don't mind taking the time to look at the collection is: Did I achieve that? If not, why not? Are there certain images which realy convey this message?

and the second shot would also be a keeper in b/w.

Hope that helps

Thanks marko; it was a tough venue to shoot since my first concern was NOT interefering rather than getting the shot. Several people now have chosen the same images as the ones they like most, I'll be curious to see which ones the paper prints.
