    Who will be next

    Taken at a Spanish cemetary, taken with a red filter to emphasize the sky, which seemed appropriate.
    Two free spots, a glass already standing by to cover up the remains and valuebles.

    I'm having a tough time figuring this out. The crop is too tight imo. The tonal range is good, the filter worked for the sky. but i dont' get anything else. What I'm saying is, it lacks a focal point.

    Thanks for the critique Liban. Now you mention it the crop indeed seems a bit tight.

    Maybe my idea behind it was a bit far fetched and probably, poorly conveyed.
    The image lacks a clear focal point because i wanted to emphasize the emptyness (lonelyness perhaps). Only the glass plate on the ground waiting for the next victim.
    Also i liked the idea, because the cemetary was so extremely white (heavenly like) to make the actual "heaven" extremely dark.
