Cypress Lawn

One I thought should have made the best of 2009 cut -
Angels Wept
Maybe I'm macabre, but I do like to shoot funerary art. The sky was bright and boring so I stood on a ladder to shoot from slightly above thus reducing the amount of sky in the shot. I like the way that the lichen brings temporality into the shot, the cemetary setting screams "mortality" and the angel models grief.

She's been crying awhile, she's collecting moss!

Oh my that sure does convey the feeling! Coming from WA state originally, I understand that rainy day gloom. Nicely done. Linda S

Excellent photo. The only thing that bothers me is the light section across the top

Excellent image. Perfect choice of DOF and it does convey a somber mood. Well done.

Brilliant shot. She tells a story.

I like the way the DoF and light concentrate attention on the bent head and shoulders.

This is an excellent shot. We've been talking about color space and some photos being "muddy" in certain browsers......this isn't one of them!!
