 After taking many shots, I kept increasing the exposure time until I could get the sky a nice color and brightness. Then, during the long exposure, I snapped the flash a few times from an angle to get the detail on the stone to show the shadows better.

Not crazy about graveyard shots but this is GORGEOUS. I love the diagonal line. The detail on the tombstone is terrific. I love the lavender tones of the sky too. Nicely done.
