Greetings from the Critique Club!

Hiya Marino, nice to meet ya.

My first thought on this shot is that it needs a major crop. One of the most common problems in shots here on DPC is that the subject isn't focused on in a photo. Imagine a vertical crop from just left of the line of tombstones near the center of the image that extends just barely to the right of the last tombstone on the right, top to bottom just as it is. This new image would have none of the emptiness on the left side of the image and would have a very strong composition with the cross near the right-center of the image. As the cross is taller than it is wide, the vertical crop would enhance its shape (shape is what silhouettes are all about, non?)

Otherwise a fantastic image. Add about +5 on contrast and see how you like it. :)

Good luck and keep shooting,
Mav

good sky---maybe crop off the left side to where the cloud starts and also some off the left to put more emphasis on the crosses

Very nice colors and use of repeating shapes. Your image is in the right half of the picture. Did you try cropping just o the largest cloud is cropped out?
