The Mausolium

Thanks Lava Lamp. Here is yet another edit. This is for a upcoming photo contest. The subject of the contest is a local cemetery that is a tourist attraction. I looked at pictures on the internet and didn't want my picture to look like the others. So I am trying to think a little out of the norm. Here is a link to the cemetery Myrtle Hill.

Good luck with the contest. I clicked on the Google images and like your picture better than any of them. Yours is the only "inside" shot, which may make it stand out. (At least I hope so.)

I did like some of the snow scenes, though I didn't realize Rome ever got snow.

We very seldom get snow. But the lst couple of years we have. Thanks for all the help.

Hi,

Imo your myrtle-hill-100.jpg is a good composition and processing but a little over cooked.

First, is the reflection from the door windows. They don’t fit the light in the room. They would be tapered, not square, and not as strongly illuminated given the lighting. They look as if they were drawn on the floor. Also given the angle of illumination in the room, I think the reflections would be at least partially on the wall.

Second, the color treatment for the flowers is a little gimmicky and too bright for the environment. Were it mine, I’d dial back the saturation a bit, maybe, I dunno, about 5%-15% or so.

You’ll score well in the competition.

Thanks for the great advise. If you want to have a try at it be my guest. I will work on the tapering as you suggest. Also the flower saturation. I went back and fourth with that. It is easy to over do a second guess myself.
