I drove down to the cemetery 5 minutes away from my house, this is a beautiful cemetery by night time. The feeling when you are there at night with the candles lit up is amazing.

I am making two passes on this Challenge. I will vote on your photo then return later(before voting is over) to comment on what I like and dislike about your shot. You can take the comments however you wish and I will try not to be mean. Just don't take it the wrong way.

Good night shot. I think this would look a lot better during the day though.
Very nice composition and I love the colors! I only with the overall the photograph was more in focus and the snow was not under-exposed. All the black specs on the snow look like black specs... hard to determine if those are graves or plants. I think the photo would be stronger if we can tell those are graves... it'll have more of an impact. If this was not a cemetary challenge then I would not have known what you title exactly means. But I love your idea and think you did a very good job =)
