A great idea, but the picture is too much out of focus for my taste. If you want to do stuff like this, use a smaller aperture to capture everything sharp! ;) (vote: 6)

Critique Club:

Meeting the Challenge: Does this very well with the repition of the headstones.

Composition: I do think including the whole tree might have made this a bit better. I like the tree in there, however, as it tends to add a little interest into what could have been a rather monotonous gray photo.

Technical Quality: Very well executed, the colors seem to be very right and the focus and dof good. The lighting somehow lends a coldness to the photo, although there are shadows present so it doesn't look flat. The snow adds to the starkness of the cemetary as well.

Creativity: Good, wouldn't have thought of a cemetary for rhythm.

Conclusion: A nice photo, well exectuted, might have been composed a little differently. Good job.

If you have questions or comments, don't hesitate to write me.

Man, can I NOT pick the winners or what! I really liked this shot. Nicely done and very emotional (well, it could be a personal thing with my Dad dying recently and putting him to rest at a National Cemetary, too.)

the shadows are very distracting.

Yellow and blue always go well and your submission is a great example for that.
I wonder why you didn't show us more of this crane? Would have been interesting.

This looks just a little bit dark for a two-headed bear (just kidding!)

What an interesting photo. It looks like several of the walls, columns and background are painted in the enclosure. Is the person really in with the giraffe? The colours have a lovely soft pastel feel to them - Good work. You probably could have had the child hidden a little more, but that doesn't change my vote in this instance.

Seems a little too busy. A closer crop may have had a more dramatic effect.
