Very nicely composed - the alignment of the headstones really lead the eye into the image. The branches on the right are a bit distracting but I suspect avoiding them would have been difficult. Cheers Brian ++ Brian Walters Western Sydney Australia

Thanks for the comment Bruce. I was actually trying for tree shots for the fall contest, but maybe the headstones in the shot take that away.?? Maybe i could crop and use this in another catagory, as i do like the line up of the stones. Dave On Jan 14, 2008 6:15 PM, Bruce Dayton [EMAIL

Another from the cemetery shoot yesterday. Same thing, i'm trying for trees in winter shots, but maybe the stones detract from that. http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=6840957 K10D, 16-45, LR conversion, CS1 clone dust and minor crop Dave -- Equine Photography www.caughtinmotion.com

Well, if you are trying for trees, then they need to be the subject. This one, like the previous one, is about the headstone. Not that this is a bad shot, just that the trees are more of a framing element rather than the subject. -- Best regards, Bruce Tuesday, January 15, 2008, 5:21:46 AM,

The headstones look pretty cool lined up like that. I think you could crop out about half the frame as the sky and most of the tree don't really do anything for the subject. I'd crop just above the tree line myself. -- Bruce Monday, January 14, 2008, 11:01:33 AM, you wrote: DJB Had to pick

I like this. The only nit I can pick is the way the tree trunk lines up with the edge of the second headstone; and I don't care for the intrusion of the branches from the right. Might a vantage point a bit to the right work better? Rick --- Bruce Dayton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The
