This is the best cemetery shot I have seen from a long time, it fairly oozes atmosphere. I like shooting in graveyards, so much history there, great to see this picture.
That looks quite recently broken (no grass growing up btwn the fragments, not sunken into the ground yet). Aren't places like this protected these days? I mean given the history...
@tmike, it can certainly look like you're saying, although it has been recently cleaned up with tombstones left the way they has been laying last hmm.. 60+ years. I have been there four time (it's only some 30 minutes drive down there) and I could see some progress in saving this place.
The mist in the background suits the mood of the photo and is an excellant of a photo in this genre. I would be inclined to print the broken tombstone in the foreground a little lighter than it is.
Wow. Amazing impact, both with subject matter and the toned down printing. Very beautiful in all its sadness. I find myself wandering around in the frame, exploring the details. A+
