An interesting photo Brad. I like the "gloomy" mood of the photo and the juxtaposition of the sharp, symmetrical headstone with the soft, natural lines of the tree.

 

I think the composition would feel more balanced if there was some separation between the top of the foreground headstone and the tree. By shifting your camera a bit to the right it would have also increased the space between the base of the tree and the foreground headstone to better match the complimentary space between the tree and the background headstone.

 

I would think about dodging / locally increasing the contrast on the headstone in the foreground so that the text is more distinct

 

 

Nice image Aaron. Very Don Kirby-esque.

I would have liked to have seen this without the rear bumper on that car too Jim! Bad timing - I'll have to try again next time I am through the area...

My homage to David Graham.

Shot in Winnipeg, Manitoba. I was drawn to the "geisha-like"

silhouette and the tree virtually growing out of the concrete.

A fabulous image Luu. It is a shame that my computer screen cannot do justice to your 11x14 negative. I look forward to seeing more.

Taken from the shore in the harbour in Prince Rupert, British

Columbia (the "City of Rainbows"). This is a real image - not a

digital manipulation - the rainbow really was that vivid! Getting

the sailboat to line up did require a bit of a jog though...

These three "gentleman" were photographed in the north end of

Yellowstone N.P. They were pretty oblivious to being disturbed,

allowing me to also shoot a duplicate of this digital shot in 4"x5"

LF from a low-pod on the roof of the truck.

Long winter shadows in Yellowstone N.P.

Really nice image Peter - I like the tonal range you have captured in the sky and the way the town's "light pollution" highlights the boat silhouettes. I find the moon's reflection in the lower left to be somewhat distracting and not in keeping with the soft, grainy feel of the rest of the image. Personally, I would crop off some (or all) of the bottom and/or burn the highlights down in the water. Thanks for sharing.
