Good technique using the slow sync flash. Very crisp noturne shoot.

My Opinion, good Subject chosen, though I think if you'd brought the tombstone and the flower to the centre as the main focus area it would have been better. 7.

Good shot. But the pic would be better if the flash was dimmer, and that thing in the middle of the pic was gone.

Comment by psweetkity:
great coloration, and that is either a long exposure or a cheap star filter. my guess is a long exposure, excellent job!!!!

Composition is great! Some chromatic aberration on tree branches, not easily corrected. Good score from me!

Comment by e301:
A few things upset what for me would otherwise be a wonderful shot. I think tere's too much going on - tree. stones, sky, and somehow you haven't brought those elements together compositionally. The line of rocks doesn't work with the shape of tree in any harmonious way. The extraneous greenery in the left of frame might confortably have been lost, andd I also think that that dead tree is too closely cropped in shot - I feel that a little more distance would have kept it in the foreground, and used it as a compositional element to draw the middle distance roacks and the far horizon together. In landscape, many of the most useful compositional ideas come from simple geometric patterns - curves, circles, triangles (especially the latter) - shapes that the eye has a natural inclination to follow.

This is a great picture. With a little work I think you could have a winner! As it is I feel the light blow out on the flowers to be just a little to much. Great pic though!!!
