Digital Camera Speed Challenge #405
A Grave Situation
For this challenge, lets see images that convey the feeling of loss, death, gloom, and despair, taken in graveyards or at funerals/wakes. The main object may be a person (or persons) involved (living or dead), a graveyard, tombstone(s), casket(s), and so on. I'll be looking for creativity (including post processing), composition, lighting, and most importantly... the ability to convey the mood.
I'm hoping the subject matter isn't too narrow, and that we can get a decent amount of input. If you know a forum member who has posted these types of shots previously, please invite them!
This challenge begins when posted, and will end at noon. Pacific time, Sunday, February 21st, 2016. Winner of this challenge will be announced shortly thereafter.
