    Number 2 & number 4 are terrific. I love how stark the fourth one is...and the colors in the sky are neat.

    Have to agree with julsoph. 2 and 4 are my favorites; especially the colors in the sky for 4. Love the starkness and silouhette(sp) of number 3.

    4 is the best, IMO. It gives a peaceful solitude feeling, and the sky is nice. The others seem kind of pedestrian to me.

    I like # 3, it has a punch aspect to it. The B&W photo has too many distractions in it, I love B&W and it looks like that area has the potential for some good shots. Are you going back?

    Yeah, I think I am going to go up after it snows and try to get some winter shots. I only live about 2 miles away from it. We live in a small town that is only about a mile square! LOL

    Cemeteries sure are peaceful looking. I think you captured that in these photos...

    I love the last one, too. Very serene and peaceful, and the colouring is really fitting, too.
    But I presume that it is actually quite satisfying to frame solitary trees in such a setting.

    The 4th one is my favorite, though I like 2 a very closesecond. I love how the tree seems to stand sentry to those few graves.

    Thank you everyone! It is a very serene cemetary. Well taken care of, and it is visited frequently by people who have lost their loved ones. There is almost always someone there when I go up there. I will definitely be going up for another shoot after it snows.......which should be anyday Haha
