Don't like the last one much...it looks like she has a pox on her face...but it sure is moody though.

Great work Paul, No2 is awesome. I love the way the setting sun is behind the cross. The other are good also. Well done.

[wakko]

ahhh number 2 for me too!!! (oh and 1 too... oh and 3... blah...)

excellent shots! :)

[Meaty0]

Thanks guys.

[kendickson]

Paul,

I quite like number 3. Works well.

[lycan]

I love the photograph.

1-2 are great.

[3Honu]

I like them all but #2 really does it for me.

[siejones]

2 for me to although all these are a bit special

Clone tool. ;)

I like #1 and the soft bokeh on the silhouetted crosses in the background. The sun has illuminated the plants perfectly.

[Dimitri_V]

I love the second one,superbly framed and exposed which brings out all the lovely ellements like light,sky.
A very good job.

[exile]

Number 2 is special - I just can't stop my eyes roaming all over it, really evocative. Good work!

[4mr4do4sho]

#2 is the winner IMHO.

Ive thought about venturing to a cemetery, but I am little freaked out by that setting.

[Neilyb]

2 is good but something about 3 is draws me in, the cool blues and death go well together (maybe whoever is entombed died of pox?) and I like the black pox.

Send a copy to J T and see if he can clone out the pox....around the nose, the forehead the eye....are you up for it Jim? ;)

[Meaty0]

Thank you all for your kind comments.

Yes, I was thinking of making it bluer than "as shot" and entering into our photo club's monthly competition. The subject for next month is "Blue".

It's mould of course, and I don't know of anyone who died of mould, but I suppose it could happen. (Legionaire's Disease?) I don't thing even a "master cloner" like JT could remove it all and make it look normal still. Maybe I should just go back to the cemetery and spray the statue with mould remover?

#2 is great, but I also like #3 a lot.

:lol: Has someone offered me a challenge? :p

[Becca]

Wow, those are really nice. I like the first one the best. Beautiful light on the "flowers" with the silhouettes of the grave markers behind. Great job!

[Meaty0]

Thanks Becca.

Jt...go for it. I was thinking of trying the "colour range" command to try and remove the mould.

[J T]

Thanks Becca.

Jt...go for it. I was thinking of trying the "colour range" command to try and remove the mould.

I did...don't you see the image?

[Meaty0]

I did...don't you see the image?
Oh yeah! I see the spots gone from her face. You misunderstood the intent I think? I was talking about cloning out or removing ALL the black mould from the statue...That's an almost impossible feat I think.;) Thanks for what you did though JT.:mrgreen:

[beachgirl]

Hey Meaty0, Love this series of shots. I really love #1, the light is perfect. That is a hanger.:D

[franklinn]

Wow I absolutely love...ALL of them. If I had to pick a favourite, I'd probably lean towards #2. But honestly, they're all fantastic shots.

[Meaty0]

Thanks BG! When are you coming to Australia so our happy little group can give you a tour of the city?


Frank Thanks mate! Much appreciated.

[beachgirl]

Thanks BG! [QUOTE]When are you coming to Australia so our happy little group can give you a tour of the city?

Wow, I'd love to see Australia. All of it. Hmmmm....I do NEED a vacation real far from here.I'll gladly take you up on that one of these days Paul.;):D

[Lesmac]

Second for me, brilliant use of light and shadow :)

[Meaty0]

Thanks Les.
