		| | In the cemetary challenge?  I didn't have time to edit it the way I wanted to before the deadline so ended up entering something completely different...but would like peoples imput and how they would have scored it.  Thanks I really appreciate it.

		| | I think i would have given it a 6. It is definitely an interesting image but I feel that the cemetary part being out of focus hurts the image. |

 On my monitor the headstones are quite visible...I'm wondering if I have my monitor set to light?

 I see the cross headstones [one big one on the right] and a cluster of what looks like 3 or 4 on the left. I see them with no problem. Even in the thumbnail and I know I have had may monitor calibrated. I just hope correctly.

 Ok thanks...I adjusted mine this afternoon and thought maybe I had them set to bright, but I went according to the scale on the bottom of the voting pages, so I think it is about right.

		| | I like the photo, its mysterious_if thats what your intent was.  Even on long timed exposures you can put a little light on items that you want for a little kick.  If you planned well to do this you can be quite creative with candles or a flash using a long sinc and placing it stategically to light just what you want to highlight.  I calibrate my monitor with photoshop and match to prints since I don't have high tech equipment to do this.  Usually using an srgb setting for photoshop will set you up pretty good. |

		| | The concept is fine, the main problem I see is focus. |

		| | I think it might be a bit more "mysterious" if the moonlight weren't that salmon color -- something in the cream/pale yellow range might be more appropriate.  It looks like a smoggy sunset to me.  I'd have voted this a 4.

		| | The picture has been badly over-compressed.  This probably accounts for some of the criticisms you have received.  Perhaps if you post a less compressed version, people would like it better.
