 Cemetery statue.
I am not a fan of taking photos of statues usually, but this one was so weathered. It almost looks like she is watching her cement body dissolve. I also liked the different mold, moss and mildew covering her body.
Used Topaz Adjust and Detail mostly.

Nice idea! It's a little underexposed, but that can easily be fixed in photoshop :)

Wow this is gorgeous. The tones are dark and muted which lends to the the somber feeling of the cemetary. Very nicely done.
