I love the caption but TBH the image as presented doesn't do a lot for me. I know less than nothing about B&W conversion, but I'd like to see more shades of gray in this.

This is kind of a new look to me and I think it works well. I like the details, the symmetry with the one bunch of leaves off to the side, and the sentiment.

Wow. Reading this brought memories rushing back. When I was growing up my grandmother would take me upstairs to bed every night . She would lie next to me reading a book and often fell asleep with her glasses on. When anyone would ask her what she was doing she would always answer, " I'm just resting my eyes." This image has made me smile thinking of her. To me, this would be very fitting on her headstone.
It just goes to show that often times artistic interpretation is really based upon personal experience. I've throughly enjoyed this image.

An interesting perspective and interesting image. I like the variations of gray, and the inscription made me think. Not a typical image, and I like that it challenges me to see things in a different way.
