A Funeral

Comment by Citadel:
A tough subject to photograph. Personally, I find taking pictures at a funeral somewhat ghoulish. However, this shot is tastefully done and does demonstrate the photographer's respect for the person who passed away. The black and white is fitting for this scene and is somewhat symbolic. The mourners in their black symbolizing their grief. The white walls of the church symbolizing the celebration of a person's life.

The composition works well here. As mentioned previously, showing all the people who came to the funeral works well and is important to make this shot work.

Exposure was pretty well handled. There is a couple of bright sports on the right but nothing too distracting. I like the light rays coming down over the coffin.

The challenge: As I mentioned at the beginning this is something I personally would not feel comfortable photographing. That aside it certainly meets the challenge in a unique way and a way that is very personal to the photographer.
