Graveyard Apug

I like the aged wood of the fence which is reminiscent of old dried bones and very apt for the subject.

I love the multiple sources of tension in this. In the foreground it's clashing discordant angles. And in the background it's ever-lurking mortality silhouetted against receding lines of distance that eventually and appropriately just disappear. This is not a photograph seeking serenity from the viewer. It's a photograph seeking uneasy reflection by the viewer.

Thanks folks, and Ken...great comment as usual! I chose the vertical pano format to emphasize the discordant angles that you mention.

Great image Tony but not sure what your title is saying about APUG

I've always viewed graveyard scenes with a different feeling or perspective from all other images. Might be the somber feeling associated with them, but always with a bit of reflection back on life and history. This B and W version adds to the feeling. The worn fence provides some thought on era or vintage of the site. The shallow DOF provides some thoughts on life fading away over time too.......well done.

Spectacular as usual, Tony. The wood texture hooked my attention, but I could only glance the last couple days. Getting to see some detail is most impressive. Ken's comments seems wonderfully accurate. 'Very different treatment than nipia's super image, but also packed w/ fuel for contemplation.

Well done Tony, and the selective focus is most effective.
