graveyard series in b&w - photo #2

[stew]

OK, pic #2 in this "series". I have one or maybe two more, which I'll put up in a couple days...

Maybe this is a study, not a series? I'm not sure... never been an art student!

The more I look at them, they are of course all simliar in feel and are essentially the same subjects. Are the photos/subject interesting in their own rights, but also disimilar enough to stand together without too much redundancy? Does that make sense?

Thanks in advance, Stew

This one I like Stew. Your textures and tones or exceptional. You have captured the feel and mood of an old grave yard with you excellent conversion to b&w. Don't really have a critque other than, "You done good, dude."

Hey Stew,
not crazy bout this one. I think everything in the bg needed to be much less out of focus and would have been better with the whole tombstone in the shot . I do like the detail and texture of the stone as OldTimer pointed out, but I just feel much less dof would have made the tombstone stand out as the subject it should be. just my thoughts.
