Comment by vtruan:
ya need at least two graves for a family.

Okay, ya got me, I won't change the score, that was based on the shot, but, yes family can be one. I was looking at the old grave, and thinking family plot (all of my ancesters graves I have visited are family plots back to 1810s. Yes families visit or try to find graves of family. So it fits better now.

I will not mark a great effort like this down, to me it is just one of the most beautiful shots of such a somber topic.

striking image...the middle seems a bit "hot" to me, but the shot meets the challenge well. Love the colors and texture of the shade

This image is very dark. It gives the shot a moody feel, but robs sharpness.

This is one of the best grave pictures I've ever seen. I like the simple, uncluttered look that a lot of cemetery pictures don't have. I love your use of tones and texture. 10

I love everything about this! The curves, the sky, everything. If you had put this in the leading lines challenge you would have gotton GREAT scores. This is a great angle.
