I really like the composition of this photograph, the balance of colours, light and shade along with the subject creates a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere, the growth on the stones is complimented by the ivy on the old church. Many thanks

Love the use of the colourful sky in this photo as well as the cloud structure. The angle that the photo was taken showing the cross, church and tree on the skyline above is great, Well composed and balanced shot

Well composed photo, use of black and white with long exposure gives a lovely effect and enhances the scene. I like the offset angle both to the side and low down, this helps drawing my eyes into the photo, nice photo

Love the effect brought by the mist, the use of the lines of trees and grave stones draws your eyes to the bright light at the end of the tree line, it almost makes it feel like you are in a tunnel. The colour balance is very nice, a well composed and timed photo

Some folk find graveyards and gravestones creepy, not me, I love them. We are so lucky in Scotland to have some ancient graveyards with interesting gravestones dating back hundreds of years. The workmanship, that is now mostly lost, in the making of these stones was tremendous. The general atmosphere in a graveyard, to me, appears different, the only way i can express it is I feel its thicker, more dense. For the contest, enter your best graveyard or gravestone picture.

Well composed, I like the use of the tree branches, the gravestone and the in the construction of the photo. The only reason I did not make a top 10 was that I would have like to seen a bit more creativity with depth of field

Nicely composed photo, the angles of the steps draws you into the photo. In my opinion i would have had less of the sky and tree, angling my photo down the steps however i really enjoyed your photo. Thank you for the lengthy description, very interesting.

I like the composition of the photograph, the use of black and white along with the gravestone, church and clouds is good, the proportions feel just right, it gives me a feeling of a dark atmosphere. I really enjoyed this photograph.
