 Very hard for a Dutchie to come up with a good title.
I was visiting the grave of my late aunt at the cemetery in Heemstede, The Netherlands, when I peeked into the little chapel and saw this gorgeous stained glass window at the back. The chapel was closed so I had to take a photo through the window.
The word 'crescendo' popped into my mind and as I was at a graveyard, there were a lot of dead people around. And there I found my challenge title 'Dead People's Crescendo'.
I couldn't avoid the chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, but by rotating the photo 180 degrees, they act more like bushes.

Post processing: use of layers, darkening, sharpening, cropping and rotating 180 degrees.

interesting title. the image, though quite pretty, isn't too exciting but does hint at some symbolic meaning that relates to the title. It fulfills the challenge but isn't a big draw.

Nice idea. Fits well with the title. I feel that it's a bit out of focus.

Sounds more like a rock group than a movie title to me.
