Great concept for this theme! I think I'd like to see the sign a little sharper though....

Very interesting combo of sign/background.

Comment by joeyputput:
good juxtaposition of cemetary and dead but background is just too common

Great idea - is that really an old medicine bottle? It certainly is old! The light is very harsh, and the reflections & strong shadows steal the spotlight from the subjects (no pun intended!) I've found that reflecting the light off a piece of white foamboard helps, or putting paper or fabric in front of it softens and reduces glare. Thanks for being creative on your subject choice!

I think the shadows are what throws this picture off.

I like your idea. The shadows are real killers here, as are the reflections. . If you can't light the background, then you should move the subjects farther away from the background to minimize the shadows. I think the plastic cup detracts from the image - I get it without the cup.

very ugly shadows you got there. I'd recommend moving the backdrop away from the subject and if you can move the light source
