    Great image Janet with a very moving story. I like how clear of a focus you got on the grave marker the mitt and balls. Nice to see the spider webs lets me know they have been there for some time. I also like seeing the coins and the rock left by fans on the top of the grave. Beautiful bokeh in the background.

    Unique choice for this challenge, and while I love the vivid colors set against the gray stone, my favorite part of this shot is the spiderwebs.
