A Spooky Cemetery

this photo is so "perfect" to be real it reminds of a movie picture. The seemingly unreal components are the perfectly flying birds around a grave and the tilted cross of the tombstone. No organized cemetery leaves their crosses this way. Overall result perfect!

wonderful mood. I might rethink the title. it is too explicit. cheers Jana

I don't typically comment on assembled images like this one, but I find the artifacts surrounding nearly every object (tree, gravestones, birds) to be extremely distracting and think they greatly detract from the overall image. I would normally assume that they're simply .jpg compression artifacts, but they're as evident on the 'larger' view as on the resized image, so I'm wondering if they're not also due to some photoshop procedures where the objects were composited with the sky.

 

 

good use of lighting, Peter.. nice trasformation ...

I should add, notwithstanding my previous comment, that I do like the overall concept of the image!

light, ominous clouds, birds on the grave and wheeling overhead, bent twisted tree, gotta love it!

amazing tone!
