You can sometimes find old graveyards hiking back in the hills around us. (5 years and 530 days ago)
A War Memorial Cemetery. (5 years and 531 days ago)
I like this image, not the dead, but the image is strong,
But I think the image will be stronger if you cut off some sky.
Now it's 55% clouds 5% trees and 40% graveyard.
I would like to chime in and agree with Lifetime Damage's assessment. As a general rule photographs that are sliced in half are perceived by the brain as boring, so a crop down would work wonders to highlight the cemetery, which is the focus of this contest. I do think this a well taken shot and we get caught up in the repeat of patterns of the stones and we love patterns.

I find this quite moving and sad at the same time,and the rain effect just makes this more so.
So appreciate your comments, thank you....the good, the bad and the funny.
Agreed, the rain effect makes it poignant. If that's real rain.
It is real rain. Trust me, I'm photoshop illiterate. Thanks for commenting.

This is souda bay in crete,there are about 1500 graves in this place,and about half are unnamed graves,this second world war memorial is so moving to see and its so peacefull its almost takes your breath away. (5 years and 534 days ago)
Ahhh, what a place to visit, thank you. You have over contrasted this and you can clearly see black "clipping" or "black outs" in the trees. (it's the opposite of blowouts) You could take your highlights/shadow lever and muck around a bit to see if you could bring out some detail. This was taken on a very bright day and your exposure was difficult. It is a nice photograph and would do well in a magazine
thanks olga for advice
Looks military. God rest ye merry souls, Semper Fi.
thankyou

I like this one for it has a feel of cold, blue...and death! Your contrast is strong, you do have some dust spots in the sky (the bane of all photographers). The photo is sharp, a considered composition is evident and overall a pleasant view, thank you. I wonder if a bit more exposure would brighten this and show the snow as white versus blue?
thanks olga,wanted this to look cold

That iron pole smack dab in my face is truly a distraction but the lighting is really wonderful and I am reminded to shoot cemeteries during the haunting hours of day!
Yes. The eye is automatically drawn to the pole. The dissonance created makes you want to look away from it, where the iron bars lead you to the tree swallowing the bars on the left, or down to the right which leads to the graves.
Thank you. Yes, I can see that now. Appreciate this discussion.
