very nice scenery. Good perspective and framing. The two blue doors are unobstructed, and so is the bell in the tower (did you carefully frame it like this on purpose, or did it just happen spontaneously?). I think that the blue doors are an important, major part of the photo, even though they are small - they add a splash of vivid colour and vehemently contrast everything else in the photo (plus blue is my favourite colour, of course ;-) ). The mountains stop the eyes from wondering afar, yet provide a pleasing backdrop to the sea of crosses where the eyes have no choice but to rest (at least for now the rest of my body doesn't rest there, though). How's all that for choice of words? And get this - all that without a drop of V8 since noon today! Speaking of V8, I was looking at the large version and couldn't see a single bottle anywhere - maybe that's why they died out. The only thing that would make the photo 7 to my visual taste buds would be an interesting sky - this one is pretty dull, but I hear you dude, most of the times we can't choose... Cheers, Micheal

As always, thanks for commenting. I will admit that not only did I not line the doors up that way, but when viewing this image initially, I kind of cursed the fact that the building was cluttering up my scene. Then it dawned on me that the blue was a touch of life, and the building was the contrast of life as opposed to the death in the graveyard. The bell in the tower, I think I can take the credit for. Peace out.

spooky and cool, i especially like the rotten church, it gives this image a story of death and decay. hui, death and decay, have you been listening to black metal lately ? ;-) best wishes flo.

A very nice PoV with depth and very nice colors...you bring the forgotten to light and I really think it's a nice work...excuse my poor reference but it reminds me of a western movie with Clint Eastwood where a treasure is hidden in a grave they have to find among thousands one...can't remember the title actually...

...even in death. A sea of little crosses, each a different story and experience. I agree with Michael that the blue doors add a relief, enlivening (pardon) the rest of the photos. Ask not for whom the bell tolls.....

Again I'm grateful for your sincere and supportive comments. I have been in a bit of an artistic slump for the last month, so my involvement on Pnet has been minimal. I guess the bright side of that is that I've forced those who are supportive and interested in my stuff to go back to the older postings that might otherwise have been missed.

 

I'm attempting to reconnect with all of you and will take awhile to get caught up.
