The Whitby Abbey

Sorry, I was thinking today about the great war and all the lives that were taken and wondered how many may be in this graveyard.

On a different thought, this is the famous graveyard that Bram Stoker wrote about in the book Dracula. I thought it would be appropriate to sepia the image to create aging back to the days the novel was written.

I  hope you like the photo.

You might have stepped inside (& a bit to left)of the foreground tombstone in order to eliminate it from the composition because of the distracting fence shadow on it. By stepping into the grassy area to the left you could have centered the church in the background and had the tombstones flanking the narrowing grassy area in a manner that direct the viewers eye back to the spires of the church. Likewise, the sepia treatment seems a little strong (tones too darkish). It is however, a very engaging scene and very good choice of subjects. FWIW

Thank you Jim for your comments. It is much appreciated.

Cheers

Yes, the Sepia works well for that aged look. I will enjoy looking over your other images of this place! Amazing structure Leon. November 11th makes us think of many battle throughout History. Well done!
