Xique-Xique Graveyard 2

This is another photograph shot at a graveyard in the town of Xique-Xique, in north eastern Brazil. I think that it goes well side by side with the other graveyard photograph that I have uploaded to my APUG gallery.

This is obvioulsy the grave of a poor person, buried not too long before I photographed this.

I'm open to all sorts of criticism, commentary, or comments about the weather.

Needless to say, this is only a scan, made with a manic-depressive piece of equipment. It's close enough, though.

Andre, Excellent capture and very much shows the contrast between having and not having. Even in death the poor have less on this earth than the rich.
 
In my classes students are forbidden to use three subjects...

barns...
graveyards...
long and winding roads.

Maybe the teacher should also be banned ... there's nothing like the joy of freedom and that class isn't it :wink:
 
Good thing Andre is not your student, I think this is one of the best cementery shots I have seen. Besides, YOUR inability to make a good shot out of a cliched subject does not mean your students wont be able to....But then we are assuming you are teaching the class and not taking it....
 
I did not read a critical comment from you, all I read was a flippant remark about your class not being able to take certain shots. You did not offer any criticism. IMO if you offer a critique, you should also give the reason why you find a picture not to your liking. We might agree or disagree with you, but will respect your opinion. Just implying this picture is no good without the courtesy of saying why is an arrogant attitude.

BTW, you should also include pictures by the side of the road and fruits in your list, they are just as cliched....
 
Uh huh, just what I thought.....I certainly hope you are TAKING the class and not teaching it.
