Picture has real impact. Your description REALLY gives it impact. A stark view of reality, with composition, contrast and focus all good. Black and White works perfectly here.

Yes, it was a terrible news story. Your fine shot here seems in keeping with what happened. Your image is well composed, sharp and has good exposure. Nicely done!

Very well done. Moody, spooky, mysterious, all of the above. Well rendered black and white. The fog in the distance is an added bonus. Contrast is a bit strong but effective.

I think this is an impressive piece of expressive photography.

You could not have personally directed God to create a scene with more story telling atmosphere than the one you took the opportunity to get and post - WOW!!.

I think you have captured the stark black and white style incredibly well.

The stark B&W style is lots of short scale contrast from front to back.

Combine that with an exceptionally good eye for framing gets this haunting piece.

The image posted here supports and gives credence to your artist notes - Amen ... B-)) Bob

This is a gorgeous black and white scene taken at this cemetery. The mist in the distance gives it an eiry feel
And the depth in this shot is excellent. Well done with the light and shadow in this one.

Comment from Susan F. M. T.


Mary Eileen,
A beautiful & very atmospheric picture of the road in the cemetery leading into the mist with trees on either side these reflected on the roads wet surface & standing in silhouette in the mist the grave stones. Artistic composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
Those senseless killings are beyond understanding on this side of the pond...Why does a Civilian see the need to own a Military Weapon!!!! Here only Criminal Gang Members might have one & that would be illegal to start off with. Farmers can own a Shot gun to control Vermin BUT he must pass strict tests he before he/she can get a licence... I could NOT legally own any gun..nor would I want to.
Susan

    Thank you Susan. The particular weapon used seems to be the weapon of choice of these people because it causes maximum casualties. Personally I am not against responsible gun ownership but I see no need for this type of weapon to be available to the civilian population. No Hunter needs a semiautomatic weapon to hunt deer.

What a haunting and lovely photo. So appropriate given the school shootings. Thank you for memorializing this moment of going into the unknown with no fear before the Lord. The symbology of this capture is sublime. The road leads us in, then past the grave markers, then into the misty veil that separates this world from the next. So very moving.
