Cementery Angel

dead space

A day walking around BCN’s biggest cementery, well worth checking out.

Nice shot, Ryan...I think the black and white conversion adds just the right mood. I need to go shoot the cemetery as part of a paid job in the next month, and I hope mine come out this well.

Thanks, it was fun, though I wish I had taken more time...just so much to see, and the light didn't get great till we were leaving...but I do like the B&W conversions...

i find the shadows to be a bit too harsh and vignette at top distracting, but i like the subject -Voted 'save7' (by the Delete Me Uncensored Group)

The composition is completely jumbled. The lighting is harsh with hardly any shadow detail. How can this have 7 saves? -Voted "delete2" (by the Delete Me Uncensored Group)

It looks a little too contrasty, with areas washed out on the statue. I vote delete3.

its harsh, but I like that about it. Theres too much dead space in the bottom right that draws my attention away delete4

I love cemeteries. They are one of my favorite places to shoot. This one looks really interesting and that's a great angel. I think overall the shot is too busy though. The sky is amazing but the shadows and other darkness I don't think work well on both the lower right and left sides. -- Seen next to a fellow photo of the group "DeleteMe Uncensored -- Welcome our 1,022 Member, Shawn Bierman".

Highlights are too strong and shadows are too dark for my liking. Good tinting though. -Voted 'delete7' (by the Delete Me Uncensored Group)

too much contrast? and you have halos around the trees... -Voted "delete8" (by the Delete Me Uncensored Group)
