Very nice shot! Great perspective pic. Color is vividly wonderful. Framing - nice job! Focus - also looks good to me! Interest - strong emotional appeal, good job! I can't really tell you why this isn't a 10, it certainly is an extremely strong 9 and very likely a ribbon shot! I'm gonna stick with 9, but it sure is nice!!! Swash

Must be an 'official' cemetary, but obviously not Arlington. Where's this taken?

Very nicely composed. The tree on the right adds some nice framing, and the nice bright colours look very nice. It is a shame about the shadow of the tree over the front headstones, but the pattern that they all create looks nice and it shows perspective well. 9

Good perspective, but the photo is busy. It doesn't need all the trees to be there. Take a much smaller crop of the photo and you'll have something with loads of impact.

In fact, I just tried it out. I cropped it, enlarged it slightly, sharpened it and played a little with the colours, then added a border. Tell me what you think:

this is a lovely landscape.. the bright green and the deep blue in the sky offers a wonderful contrast in this shot.. there appears to be a small amount of noise in the sky area.. possibly from saturation... great shot :) - setzler

This is a beautiful photograph. Three things I especially like - the way you took the photo down the lines, appearing to go on forever; he shade of the big tree, giving the photo a touch of life rather than just beinging a photo; and the focus and depth to the lines of graves. The focus never stops and I think that adds so much to this, making the photo appear to go on to infinity with no end. This is an excellent composition with really good execution. Congratulations.

Of the cimetary shots, it's the best executed one. it really does show perspective. The colors are sharp as well as the DOF and focus. The only thing that I find distracting is the tree on the right as it draws my attention away from the stones. 8

Nice job, the colors are super. Would make a nice rythm shot as well.

I really love this concept and the execution is pretty exceptional. Upon taking a closer look, I think it might have been better without the tree hanging down at the top...I may have cropped a bit tighter on top. I also think I would have tried for a time when the shadow was on the other side of the tree It's still one of my favorite shots for this challenge.

wow - a huge opportunity. Personally I'd love to see this with nothing other than the green grass and grave stones - it would really be an arresting pattern/ texture shot them. I feel that the trees/ sky/ monument are really distracitions from the main message and main impact of this wonderful scene. The fact that it represents so many deaths also has a huge impact. If you can, I'd love to see this with the patterns really worked on
