Dead urban ;( Very interesting take on the challenge, I like it. The different heights of the crosses really brings you into the shot, building up to the back, very nice. A tad too much sky for my taste but an overall good use of space. And the black and white work very well with this shot, a touch more contrast and you would have 9 or 10 from me ;)

Nice work here. Good sky and tonal quality throughout. Might have had the horizon a little higher in the frame. 9 -danny

nice. good use of b/w treatment. gray tones help convey the gloomy, solemn feel.

This is an awesome picture! Totally different take on the theme. Love all the crosses sticking up, the negative space above, and the b&w.

Great job!

A good shot but I would have cropped the top quarter of the sky off it is too bland and detracts from the drama of the rest of the shot.

I like this, appropiately, gloomy shot. The (shaded) foreground reveals little detail beyond one of locale and setting, which effectively silhouettes the skyline (tomb rooves and crosses) against a frayed cloudscape. An unusual, thought-provoking interpretation, and an interesting one with an aptly coined title.

Nicely done. The only thing I would've done is crop just a little more of the sky out of the shot.

Striking, but would have been more so with more contrast

Good title, it gives it kind of a Greek flavour. The photo is very well done, good concept

Very imaginative title! Great shot, tricky to expose for and you managed very well. Effective composition. Nice use of duotone. I like the textures. 8

Nice shot, just a little bit too much sky

guess each photographer has their own way of interpreting the theme for the challenge, although i might not really consider this as an urban landscape, but since u view it as NECROPOLIS, your own way of looking at it, i give you a 9 for originality, 4 for closeness to theme, 10 for a good shot, and an 8 as the picture itself, with your total average of 7.75, so ill just round it off ang give u an 8 as a score.great job!
