 This is nearly out of the camera, which I am really striving for lately. Slight crop, a few flecks and blemishes removed, 5% sat boost, resized, USM.

I didn't even plan on going here today; we stumbled upon this cemetery driving around looking for a place to eat and were drawn to its history, beauty and peace. I saw headstones dating back to the 1700's; very rare for California. I intend on going back here many times.

Beautifully rendered, but with a hint of srtefacts along the tree branches, presumably from slightly obverdone USM or perhaps a selection ambiguity. The POV, from very low, is quite good, and the raking light is perfect for texture and detail; but, ultimately, the picture doesn't have much emotional weight for me, so it doesn't make my top tier here. Still a strong entry.

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.

Well composed. Nice colors and levels. This is among only a few photos that would make me want to be there. Peaceful. Respectful. Very nicely done.
