teru 0 Posted November 26, 2005 The colors and soft focus give a great dreamy effect to the shot. Link to comment
marco_ruggiero 0 Posted November 26, 2005 There is a light at the end of death. One has to believe that. Great image and a great symbolism, as far as I am concerned, not to speak of the exquisite composition and colors. Well done. Link to comment
cherlyn 1 Posted November 26, 2005 Good leading point of the light at the end of the autumn path. Very beautiful colours & frame. Link to comment
carnelli 0 Posted November 26, 2005 "To everything there is a season".......perfect diagonals and punchy saturation complete your vision.....well done.....cheers.....Tye. Link to comment
davidmccracken 2 Posted November 26, 2005 I too love the colours in this. The subject matter might seem disrespectful to some. I personally would have made the diagonal more pronounced but then if we all took photos the same way, this would be a boring site. Link to comment
alexguerra 0 Posted November 26, 2005 Thank you everyone for the nice comments, much appreciated. I'm glad this image can trigger feelings and points of view regardless of each individual's background. I try myself to keep open to everything no matter what or where comes from. Link to comment
katzpjs 50 Posted November 26, 2005 Great lighting and colors with no feeling of disrespectfulness felt. I visit graveyards where ever I see them.For my taste the shading around the edges should not have a straight edge where it ends, but should look more like fog. Achieving this effect would take much work but would make the photograph perfect. Link to comment
jmoody 0 Posted November 26, 2005 not much more I can add to this that hasn't already been said. WOnderful fall colors (good Thematic choice too as well since "fall" and "death" work well together poetically). Great angle and depth of field. The light in the corner works great (especially again in the "meaning" of the shot). Would've been 10's if you could've got some fog or mist involved, but can't always have everything I suppose. :-) Excellent work again Alexandre Link to comment
ada-ipenburg 0 Posted November 26, 2005 Chillness of death surrounded by the warmth of the autumncolours and at the end the promising light. So much symbolism you brought together in this wonderful composition dear Alex. Very touching! Warm Regards, Ada~ Link to comment
alexguerra 0 Posted November 26, 2005 Shawn, I too like to visit graveyards; they are such peaceful and meaningful places, despite of not being attached to any formal religion myself. You're right about the edges; I'll try to fix it. Always a pleasure to have your comments!Jeff, thanks for passing by. Perhaps some foggy days are still about to come:)Ada, I'm very glad you liked it and for your visit! Link to comment
susan stone 0 Posted November 27, 2005 I keep looking at this image and thinking that there is something profound I should say only the words don't come to my mind. It has a haunting peacefulness about it that I find appealing, it seems eternal somehow, and the saturated colors compliment the composition. Well seen and expertly exposed. Link to comment

zyriab 0 Posted November 28, 2005 Wonderful. Great colors. Me parece muy bien compuesta, con ese punto de fuga, y muy acertadas esas tonalidades frí¡³. un saludo 6/7 Link to comment

sigfridlopez 0 Posted November 28, 2005 Excellent, as usual. Very atmospheric, although I can feel it a bit "over-worked" -just an opinion, ok?-. Colors are properly saturated, but in this kind of shot I am not sure whether they are appropiate or not (the crosses look sort of "feisty"). Maybe the application of your excellent b/w contrasted filters would make the shot more poignant, stronger. They would make a somber, outstanding picture, IMHO. Anyway, every new shot of yours is a delight, no doubt. Link to comment
guzin 0 Posted November 28, 2005 interesting sembolism and colours.A different work and looking.Well done. Link to comment
alexguerra 0 Posted November 28, 2005 Sigfrid, for the b&ws I usually just play around with the PS channel mixer. I'll try for sure a b&w version of this. Thanks a lot for the suggestions and for your always nice and valuable comment.Guzin, I'm very glad you liked it! Link to comment
henrimanguy 0 Posted November 29, 2005 I like the opposition between the graves and crosses which inspire sadness and the red flowers which inspire joy and life. Regards, Henri Link to comment
meli d 0 Posted December 1, 2005 I had seen this before and thought it was marvelous, but didn't write in. So, many compliments on the beauty and depth and color of this elegant composition of light, life and death. Link to comment
