Challenge: Cemetery (Advanced Editing IV)
Camera: Canon EOS-300D Rebel
Lens: Canon EF 75-300mm f/4.0-5.6 IS USM
Location: Old Cemetery
Date: Mar 25, 2005
Aperture: F8
ISO: 200

 Edit - Crop, levels, sat, noise removal, resize, select tombstone and surronding area and apply unsharp mask, use blur tool a bit on far background, burn midtones on Tombstone.

Taken at the old cemetary in Manassa. There are lots of very old graves there. No one takes care of it and it has gone back to nature. This tombstone and grave just looked so cracked up and unpleasant that it seemed kind of funny when considering the name of the deceased.

Nice contrast and play on names. Great coloration.

That's funny :) Maybe a different angel could have made it more interesting? A bit more contrast between forground and background perhaps?

What a scrubby, unkempt gravesite. Nice cracks in the stone.

This is my second go-around =) - Very nice photograph and perfect exposure. I would like to see it not cropped as much, so we can really see what's so "unpleasant" about the resting space. However, I think you overall did a very good job =)

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.

The pink flower or trash is a little distracting but other than that it is good.

I really like this shot. 8 from me. I'd like the colors bumped up a little but this really fine. Congrats. Nice one.

I think the pick trash in the bush is distracting but love everything else about this image 8
