Location: Horsell, Surrey, UK
Date: Aug 8, 2003
Aperture: 6.3
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/100

Just the left side of the Church "St.Mary in Horsell" where this old tomb stones are lined up.

I have been very much in doubt about what to submit for this challenge which, I must admit, did not inspire me too much (I am already way too desolated myself).

In the end I choose to submit this and you know why? Because it has three very evident right angles! =P

Even if this is on an upward slope, tilted horizons are probably the #2 worse thing you can do to a picture (out of focus being #1). Looks like some interesting geometry. If it were me I'd have chosen an alternate perspective.

I like the idea of the graveyard. Graveyards in black and white can often show signs of timelessness but is ruined by that rotting modern looking wooden box. You could have perhaps stepped right up into the graveyard and concentrated more on the stones. The subject should be the stones, but at the moment, ti is the tacky road and side wall and the messy road. However, well done. Good try =)

Challenge met..i think you could have framed it differently, maybe more center, closer. It's a little bright on the gravestones.

cropping the right side to get rid of the wooden thing on the wall might have helped this.

I wonder if you thought of cropping the right hand edge of this to take out the green

Composition is odd... to me. The wall confuses the message. Not really sure how it could have been done differently. (6)

This photo conjurs up some of my more morbid imaginings. I think about bodies lying under the headstones, decomposing to liquid state and then draining out the holes in the wall.

The wall and the road does not make any good to the picture
