Here's one more from the Graveyard

Here's one more, I posted "Angel in the Mourning" earlier today, and really appreciate all the suggestions I have on it.

This one I'm undecided if I want to shoot it again with a fuzzy background or like it the way it is.

I'll probably do it again just so I can compare the two.

Anyway, any comments, suggestions, criticisms are more than welcome!

For me the bright sky isn't working...I almost want to shield my eyes just to look at it.
Other than that I do like it. Less depth of field might work better here too. No harm giving it a try.

Yes, that sky is nasty.

Still, I like your point of view in this one. I'm thinking if you don't want to re-shoot you could crop from the right all the way to the headstone and from the top down to almost touch the edge of the frame with its head.

Thanks for the advice!!! I've been working on this one most of the evening and am getting ready to post another edit of it.

I REALLY like this forum! :)

I think the background sharpness is fine. The subject is interesting, the photo is well composed. Like the others have noted though, the background is just too bright (looks like an H bomb is exploding back there :) ). If you shot this at a different time of the day, that would take care of that.
