Around here, the large, old cemetaries have limited daytime hours and are locked up at night. Even if it were open at night, this would not be a safe place. It's probably even a creepier place than what it looks.

very nice effort, focus is spot on, DOF is also very good. B&W conversion is among the better i have seen. although a day shot is looks quite creepy,

Well done

Great tonal range in this, Mary. I don't agree that the angle is boring here - the trees and negative space add a lot to this composition. Nicely done.

It seems a little cluttered...maybe a different angle.

Nice technically but no real wow factor.

I would spend the better part of the day in a graveyard, they are full of soo much local history, kinda a who is who of the area! Never thought of it as a said place; but of one to relax regroup and revisit.

Interesting subject, but boring angle. If trying to capture grief, a nice ground level angle shooting near the ground and towards the other gravestones, or shooting from below and to the sky (into the trees?) for a more depressing shot. otherwise it looks simply boring with no true point of interest.

looks dark & crowded foreground, maybe different angle so shadows fall behind the gravestones rather than on them?
