    D, I thought you didn't follow the rule of thirds LOL

    Nailed this I love it. Makes me want to walk around a cemetry. Where's that stake!

    Re: Requiem

    Very good, D. The placement of the subject and the exposure is just right. I like how the top of the cross is against the darker bg allowing it to stand out strong. Visually impactful. Good work

    Thank you, Gentlemen! Roger, I never said I didn't follow the rule EVER. Only that there have been times where I simply disregarded it OR decided to apply it a little differently (such as diagonally). So there!

    Ouch! Slapped wrists :-)

    Been down visiting my parents in Wales and took a walk round the cemetry but there was nothing interesting.

    D - Nice cross, I'm not sure of what style the artwork is on it and the stone but it's definitely different (almost Gothic). The black and white's a nice twist. I like the shadow on the right too.

    Graveyards kind of puts things in perspective eh? Maybe a shot like this and a maturnity ward side-by-side would be neat too.

    Lovely shot D! The black behind the cross really puts it over the top and makes the cross pop. Very nice!

    Very Powerful Image

    You nailed this one Mrs. Butler!

    Very powerful. Great composition. And the black and white really adds to the impact.

    Very well done!
