Love the perspective and use of black and white on this one. People rarely like the extremely tilted horizon but I think it works in this picture especially since the headstone fits perfectly in the corner while getting a good view of the model.

I'm not familiar with the legend or saying. But the photo is very good and the horizon line is good by me! 8.

i love the cropping and composition on this! also, the angle u took it from is really cool! it's hard for me to really get into the mood on this one though with all the sunshine in the background... it seems like it should be more dark and depressing than that. 6

I really like the angle of this shot. :) The contrast is also very nice. However, I'm not quite sure how the title directly relates to a superstition or urban legend (though, being in a graveyard, I could imagine that it probably correlates to one ;) ). I'm sure the description will make it much more clear. Sometimes it can be a real pain in the ass to try and convey a complex idea with a title...

This almost works. But the stake is a little hard to see at first glance. Personaly I would have made it more promenite in the image, seein on how it is the 'killer'.
