very nice. I originally thought that there was too much contrast, and too much detail lost in the trees, but actually, I think it works!

Silence: ASL

Comment:
interesting idea, but I find the color cast and the shadow behind his head distracting. I think you'd lose the shadow, and bring your subject out more (the wall texture is a little distracting as well...) by bringing him out and away from the wall. Also, I'd recommend fixing the color cast in Photoshop (perhaps a cooling filter?)

nice subject, but it came through a little fuzzy. Perhaps sharpening in photoshop would have helped?

When The Bells Stop...

Comment:
it's a wonderful idea, but it seems a little muddy to me. There's not enough definition to the tombstones because of the trees behind. perhaps a different angle would make them more prominent?

wonderful shot, but it's too dark.

This truly catches my imagination--it's very ethereal. I've only given 2 10's so far (out of 84 viewed) and this is one of them!

I would have liked it better without the cactus on the right. The texture of the stone and the texture of the left tree are very harmonious. The cactus is too dark, too blobby, and too intrusive. If it could have been framed without the cactus, I would have given it a 10--the rest is wonderful! Thank you for entering it.
