 Local veteran's burial ground. In PS, applied red Photo Filter layer, desaturated with Hue/Saturation layer, adjusted contrast in Levels layer. Sharpened, resized, sharpened, convereted to jpg for web.

I took some at the baby's and children's area in this cemetary. They were darker ... too dark and upsetting. I couldn't bring myself to enter one of those.

Love the photo!... I really like how the one tomb stone stands out amongst the rest!

I like how one of the stones almost seems to shine while the ones in the back seem to plunge into darkness. greta lighting!

Nicely composed, seen and executed. I like the range of tones, the position of the white stone and the darkness at the top of the picture. The only niggle is the out of focus stones at the front of the picture, my personal preference would be to see them at the back or to have everything in focus. But that's just me ;) 8

I like the concept, but maybe a cememtary with a bit more personality would have worked better.

I'm wondering if the one stone that is angled and brighter was intentional?
Nice pic.

Awesome image! I like the abstract feel to this. Very on-subject as well. The only thing that bothers me (and this is totally subjective) is the dark at the top. I might try to cut that in half or more, maybe even altogether. Might not work, but it's easy to try.

The one higlighted stone in the back off-centre puts the photo out of the darkness challenge for me. Personally I would have used that hint of light to enter this photo for a challenge like "light" or even "hope". But I think it was a clever idea.
