 I should've cropped in tighter to get more detail in the buildings, but I was going for a spacial effect here. This cemetery is HUGE with lots of beautiful places to see, but I wanted a darker type of picture.

Good point of view, I like the way the buildings are creeping up over the hill.
I also like the way the angle is balanced in the frame. A bit more contrast needed?

This is my second go-around =) - Very nice photograph! I only wish there were a few whiter highlights. But overall I think you did a great 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 black border gets lost in the trees on the top right.

Good composition. Maybe it's just a tad too dark.
