Critique Club:

Meeting the Challenge: Does this very well with the repition of the headstones.

Composition: I do think including the whole tree might have made this a bit better. I like the tree in there, however, as it tends to add a little interest into what could have been a rather monotonous gray photo.

Technical Quality: Very well executed, the colors seem to be very right and the focus and dof good. The lighting somehow lends a coldness to the photo, although there are shadows present so it doesn't look flat. The snow adds to the starkness of the cemetary as well.

Creativity: Good, wouldn't have thought of a cemetary for rhythm.

Conclusion: A nice photo, well exectuted, might have been composed a little differently. Good job.

If you have questions or comments, don't hesitate to write me.

Man, can I NOT pick the winners or what! I really liked this shot. Nicely done and very emotional (well, it could be a personal thing with my Dad dying recently and putting him to rest at a National Cemetary, too.)

Seems a little too busy. A closer crop may have had a more dramatic effect.

Moving - especially with the spectre of war upon us. WIsh you could have gotten a lower angle.

I saw this one I think on your camera screen, but i still like it. The tree breaks up the monotony.

It is cool how the tombs in the foreground look like they are swallowed by the earth. Great work at keeping the snow white and not blue!

Like the repetition without being boring in this shot, also lighting and composition.

It's an ordinary shot, but the subject matter is compelling.

The tree breaks up the pattern/ texture of this shot - I'd like to see it without that I think
