The sky being terribly overexposed removes the (potentially high) impact of this image.

I like the green and the depth of the graveyard; but the sky and the backlighting really detract from the image.You can't help that though, or the trees; my suggestion is wait till a foggy sunrise/sunset and shoot this place again.Then consider black and white. People will want prints.

Nice but the sky is too blown out for me - I think a little later would have evened things out more. It hurts particularly on the trees to the top right where they lose all detail. I like the framing though.

The dark, brooding feel does give a sense of spirituality and mystery - but I'd like to get a better view of the undoubtedly interesting old stone work. Maybe a touch lighter, or a bit less contrast?

Great subject, nice texture which really gives the sense of antiquity.

The exposure has ruined this photo. It's a great old church and cemetary but the sky is over exposed and the rest of the image is too dark. Shooting at a different time of day would help.

Love the title of this, it fits the image perfectly. The sky is very pale but the overall look is appealing and traditional.
