This photograph represents to me seperation of this lost soul from his own mortality. Grief struck when he realizes his fate is not as he knew it. Brought to him by coming across his own grave.

What a cool idea for that challenge. I agree with the other commenters about the overall poor photo quality, but the idea is the hardest thing to come by imo. I think you should reshoot this same idea with a better technique.

After looking for a while. I see the whole picture. Funny at first all I saw was a blotchy thing then the legs came into focus. the I started to see it. What an amazing picture IMO. It just looks like the tombstone is a little out of focus. 9

Interesting technique even if it dosn't work for me. Fits the challenge well. as for color, focus and lighting.. wel I don't like it.. but I will however acknowledge that that is just personal tast and it is obvious that this was an intentional effect.. Interesting and unusual.

It may have been your intent, but this is too blurry and grainy for my taste

the fuzzy grainy feel to this only adds to the realism of the photo...good job. I think you should of desaturated it a little ..6

In future challenges you may want to ensure you save at a higher JPG quality and ensure your ISO is at the lowest setting (on some cameras it's 50, on others its 200). It looks like there is a ton of noise grain in this, almost like it was taken by a cell phone camera - which I know it wasn't. I like the effect you're trying to captuer here, but the image is far too pixelated and grainy.

Nice effect, but the overal picture quality is kind of poor.

This is an interesting image but tough on the eyes. Too much blur for me whether it was intentional or not.
