Challenge: Cemetery (Advanced Editing IV)
Camera: Canon PowerShot G6
Location: The Necropolis, Glasgow
Date: Mar 25, 2005
Galleries: Emotive
Date Uploaded: Mar 27, 2005

Taken at the necropolis in Glasgow which was modelled on the Père-Lachaise in Paris. The cemetary is said to have had as much as 50,000 burials and is worth a visit to see some of the stunning architecture and craftmanship in some of the grander tombs.

Unfortunatley, like many other public areas of Glasgow and other major cities, it is prone to vandalism and this is what my picture depicts. Spraypaint on the tombstones is bad enough but some of the heedstones have been kicked over, as is shown here.

An amazing shot. Even though it is a top 20 I feel it is still very under rated. Good work.

I do love the treatment on this one. Composition works very well. Was the left side blurred in software? there appears ot be blurring of the top of the rounded stone at center, but not the bottom, and the clouds are sharp on the right, but not the left.

Nice bleak look to fit the subject. Bumping up.

Excellent shot! I like the focus in the front of photo with the blurring on the left adding a sense of depth and mystery...good tonal quality and despite all the gravestones, there is a lovely symmetry to this shot...8

the fake depth of field effect here spoils what could of been a good shot

I am making two passes on this Challenge. I will vote on your photo then return later(before voting is over) to comment on what I like and dislike about your shot. You can take the comments however you wish and I will try not to be mean. Just don't take it the wrong way.

Nice and crisp shot except for the left side. If you meant to do this then I think you hurt yourself by doing it.

Depth of Field is perfect for my taste at least. This picture wouldnt had worked if that cross wasn't slanted like that. Great eye.

good

IMO, more dof is needed or crop the left more, the out of focus is distracting to me.

Im torn onthis one, I like the dramaticframing, but the dark tones just eat up everything. Sweet framing but I miss the missing information of the greys.
03/28/2005 09:39:01 PM
Nice shot
03/28/2005 05:34:53 PM
very nice tones 7

One of my top five. This is outstanding.

Very nice! I like the tones and composition. I only think there should be a little more contrast and/or burning in a few areas.
