    Re: Cemetery at sunset

    I really like the first and second one. The 3rd one looks great as well but I like how the tombstone looks whole in the second one. The little plant in the 4th one looks a bit distracting. I am just curious to see how it would look without it and maybe crop the tree on the right side. The last one looks great also but I think it would look even better without the branch on the top left.

    Great job on all of these.

    The first shot is my favourite, the wrought iron work comes out cool, but the sun light on the spider webs is what makes it for me. The mesh fence effect in the background is kinda strange though. Note sure if a blur there would improve.

    Isn't it a cool thing in nature that the colours never seem to clash...

    I have no issues with you editing my photos

    Re: Cemetery at sunset

    I'm really tempted to see these grunged up a bit, aged, or a combination of each. They look like good starts to some death metal covers.
    mostly Nikon gear

    Feel free to edit my images for critique, just let me know what you did.

    Re: Cemetery at sunset

    really like #1 and #5

    I think they are missing a story just to complement the images

    #1 has some sort of halo , probably from the sun being in front ...

    Re: Cemetery at sunset

    hminx..I did a blur with a masking layer in the background to get rid of that fence..I still need to do a little better blending around the headstones..
