 This was taken at the Hollywood Cemetery. One of my fav places to go and prowl around. The HC has tons of History within it. Two well known Presidents (James Monroe and John Tyler)are buried here. Along with a Vampire. The tale can be read here.

I've shot this before in a number of perspectives. I've always liked it because it can be viewed in more than one way. Meaning, the expression on the statues face against the cross could mean different things to different people.

The angle and processing bring this to life.

A moving piece indeed and enhanced by the b&w processing. Great DOF for this shot, I also like the textures here.

Very good use of B&W here to convey the mood of the cemetry

Nice b/w conversion. The statue almost looks real - like street mimes.

Cemeteries creep me out. I guess it's a personal thing. You have made a nice image though. I've never seen such a statue before.
