Tombstone

Like I already said I think this is great...

I think all of us that shoot in cemeteries have done similar shots dozens of times, but that's because it works. It's a simple concept that often gets cluttered with too much going on. That's not happening here. The viewer is definitely drawn to the nearest tombstone and the depth of field is shallow and great. Everything beyond the main point of focus blurs at a great rate based on the distance. The black and white adds a great impact also. I really like the lower angle that you took the picture from, right down at the level of the primary tombstone.

I have one comment and one suggestion. The comment is something you couldn't have changed, but it looks like it was a bright and sunny day and the light hitting the primary marker seems a little harsh. Trying the shot when the sun isn't so strong may change the effect. The suggestion is to try the shot without the newer marker along the right edge in the frame. Maybe if you were a step or two to the right and rotated a little ot the left? The primary marker and everything in the background all appear to be older stones. The one along the right edge looks much newer and doesn't have the same amount of interest as the other stones (it's pretty plain).

But like I said, a great shot. Keep up the great work.
