Lovely in its own way but I don't see naything accidental about this setup.

H is for Honeybee

Nice catch. I hope everyone gets it. My first reactiion was you misunderstood the challenge, your title is a little misleading... "B is for Bananan, C is for cat..." But fortunately I looked closer.

Was just backtracking through surrealism and realized I hadn't commented upon this stunner, which IMO should have finished int he top 5 for sure. From a purely surrealistic POV it's easily the strongest image in the challenge. Fine work.

forgotten memories
by claudia26

Comment:
This is a very nice, quiet "abstract" of a gravestone. It's unfortunate that the horizontal of the type has not been leveled, and that the rather arbitrary cropping does not admit the full arch at the top. Finally, as an aside, "forgotten memories" is an ozymoron, a contradiction in terms; if it is forgotten, how can it be a memory? perhaps this was your inetntion? But if so, the image inno way supports the complexity of that paradoxical thought.

A decent score from me, nonetheless.

Mourning Reflections in Granite
by theSaj

Comment:
This image has SO much potential, but it is largely untapped. Iunderstand what I'm seeing here, the reflection of a person in a polished granite tombstone, but the overall muddiness of the rendering is offputting, and the marks in the granite seem more like imperfections overlaid on the image than an integral part of it. I'd think soem careful use of levels and USM could work very well here.

Forever Watchful Over The Pet Cemetary
by K-Rob

Comment:
strange, strange picture. Compositionally you're being hurt by the tangency of the dog's head with the ridgeline, and the almost perfect bisection of the image into ground and sky. I think this could have been improved dramatically by dropping the camera a ferw inches or a foot lower, allowing the dog's head to completely overtake the ridgeline and be silhouetted against the sky.

Visit Them and Listen
by Kylie

Comment:
Beautifully rendered, but with a hint of srtefacts along the tree branches, presumably from slightly obverdone USM or perhaps a selection ambiguity. The POV, from very low, is quite good, and the raking light is perfect for texture and detail; but, ultimately, the picture doesn't have much emotional weight for me, so it doesn't make my top tier here. Still a strong entry.

Skewed By Time

Comment:
This stands out as a "postcard" image, cemetery In Living Colour, very much add odds with how nearly everyone else approached the challenge, and refreshing for that. Compositionally, it's a bit static with the precise bisection of the image by the horizon.
