A poem to accompany the photo:

Where once there was laughter, rain erodes rock -
surrogate tears for nearby mother's grief
buried heart and breast decaying or decayed
shudders of woe long cease.

Yet in this row, silenced children cue
ribcages once possessing blood and gush and laugh and sigh
no own stale air, dust, vacancy.

Time, that slathering beast, that pilferer,
that ravaging foe, that unbiased judge,
takes all - less perhaps faith.

After the contest is over please tell me where you got your title. It's so haunting and so appropriate for your choice of subjects. Good job :)

I LOVE this feel! This looks a lot like Bobster's work. I love cemeteries and this soft, fantasy look with super high saturation! Excellent job! The only thing I would try to change is the very dark upper right corner, but I am really not sure how you could get that lighter without lamps pointing in that direction.. would take a lot of work and money. Great job though... I really love this.

Effective use of dodging and burning. Framed nicely.
