i'm still in the learning process, so i'm not going to comment on what's right or wrong, but i will say that i really like this picture.

i think the dark clouds help with that ominous feeling the picture gives out

I am in the same boat as Kai - still very much learning. Absolutely love this shot and love the way my eye is drawn to the centre of it.

Other than the objects in the foreground being a touch too dark, I think it is a great photo. I agree about the ominous feel of it. Great work!

Hello everyone.

Thanks for the comment......I"m also in the stage of learning....

The only reason I say the foreground is a little dark is because it seems you want to make the focus of the image the rows of headstones and with the foreground being as dark as it is, you lose that detail.

I do however, love the composition of the shot.

I'm learning too and by looking at other people's photos and commenting on theirs, I am learning things to do/avoid when taking my own shots :)

As far as technicality goes I'm learning as well but from an artistic perspective it is a very effective shot. However, like others have said, it is a little bit dark. Maybe playing with the contrast a little may make a difference. It is still very powerful nonetheless.

I love the effect the clouds have on the photo, it'd be just a bit average with out them but with them it's awsome.:cool:

Nice one.The straight lines of headstones put me off at first but now they keep growing on me more and more.

A very good shot! I really like it.

I feel though it needs a bit crisper feel to it, not much, but I did this. The highlights a bit brighter and shadows a bit darker.
I hope you don't mind.
