nice idea, like the titleing, b&w dead on, good color, nice duo tone, great dof, interesting angle, good comp, nice texture, good lines, overall a nice pix

Really like the mix of desat and colour in this shot. I think a closer crop on the left hand side may have made the overall impression more compelling.

Good use of selective desaturation. 8

Great title, and the tree makes such a strong impact in this image.....

Truly beautiful. Love the lighting! 10

very cool

excellent desaturation.

I'm a little torn with this.. on one hand, I like what you've seen and are saying, but the desat seems to be just a little strong for me.. and I don't really like the lay-out of the gravestones.. If you'd found an angle where the stones were angled to lead into the tree, it could have been a much stronger compostion.

Nice use of selective desaturation. Like the old cedar -8-

nice. i love to shoot in graveyards. they give monochromatic feels with sudden bursts of color. good shot

Love the burst of coor

10 from me...good luck! great shot! i love what you have done with this!

Great idea, well executed. If only you could have aranged for a divine beam of light from heaven to seal the deal...
01/18/2006 10:18:57 PM
Very nice

This is my favorite so far. One suggestion I have (just a suggestion I'm giving this a 10) would be cloning out some of dead area of the tree with the vibrant green leaves. However, no matter how intricate of a cloning job you do it would be evident in a large print.... it would have been convincing on the web. Great job!

Post processing and title go hand in hand. I like it.
01/17/2006 02:06:59 PM
I think the concept is good, but technically this is subpar.
01/17/2006 06:57:51 AM
beautiful!

I'm sitting here staring at this trying to decide if I like the desat or not. I know I like the shot, and the desat is not bad....just thinking that the highlights might be a bit blown. If they weren't so strikingly bright I would love this. The tree colors are beautiful. Perfect title.

I rarely like cemetary shots despite the fact I've been known to take them. I like that you decided to take it from behind the stones so no names are shown--it gives it a timeless and placeless (if you will) feel. The selective desaturation is so appropriate here. Nicely done!

Interesting approach, very attention demanding and a great subject.
01/16/2006 04:06:07 PM
manure... hehe ..
great shot
01/16/2006 06:47:10 AM
Very creative. I like the title and the composition. You have taken an average scene and made it special. That is a wonderful talent.

Interesting, good strong colour against the tones of grey.
