 Taken with the Tamron 28-75. Of all of the many vaulted graves in this small churchyard, this one really caught my eye. It's not a bold image, and probably won't stand out amoungst the other entrants, but I feel it conveys more than just a weathered old stone...

The original was cropped, resized, and focus tweaked. The top half (grass) had a bit of levels work, and the bottom half (stone) had a bit of h&s work as well as levels. The entire image was then double bordered.

great use of color, subtle DOF. A presonal favorite

Nice colors and an interesting composition. I guess the birds never think anything is sacred!

Different angle might have contributed to greater emotional impact (somewhat bland as it is).

I am making two passes on this Challenge. I will vote on your photo then return later(before voting is over) to comment on what I like and dislike about your shot. You can take the comments however you wish and I will try not to be mean. Just don't take it the wrong way.

The border works here. If the headstone was level it would look a lot beter.

Photographer could have angled a wee bit more so the word sacred would be a little bit clearer -- but its a great photo

a bit more of the stone and IMO you'd do better.

very nice but almost unreadable, would prefer to see it with the angle not no acute

I really like the colors and the exposure is perfect. However, if this was not a cemetary contest then I would have no idea what you were photographing. I wish you could have angled it slightly more so it's a little easier to tell that there is writing on the stone.
