The subject of these two hands rising from the grave is interesting. The lighting on the hands is remarkable and works harmoniously with the blue sky in the background. Awesome job!!!

You really captured the feeling of an ancient cemetery with this photo. The lighting and coloring in this photo to me are perfect. Great job here!

This is not only a balanced photo, the bright sunny day helps to bring emotion into this picture. The statue in the foreground being lighter than the monument behind it really evokes the emotion of isolation and solitude. Great photo!

The backlighting of the cross makes this a powerful photo. Great job! The headstone in the foreground on the right really balances and centers this pic!

The subtleness of this photo caused me to take a second look. If I had not taken a second look, I would’ve missed the elderly person standing with the cane. Very cool picture!

The tree on the left balances this picture with the house on the right. The mist or fogginess in Photo paints a picture. Great job!
