Excellent additions! Thanks. And I love the vignetting on your images. I think it really "works".

I love that little cross at the bottom. A touching piece of human emotion, I think.
I also have to say I think you've got a fabulous background in that shot, too. The more I look at the background, the more details I'm seeing, such as the shadow of another grave to the right, and the layer-upon-layer of tombstones to the left.

Briliant eye! Keep 'em coming.

some amazing shots in here. One thing that I do like about shots like many of these is how you can play with DOF. Shooting in a cemetary can be so interesting if you take some time away from the shot to really look around and contemplate the history of those lying before you. Before I get all philosophical (trust me, no one needs that! :lol, here's my additions from the Erie St. Cemetary in Cleveland.

Thanks for adding Scott. That first one has so much going on visually....love it!

What an incredible find. Thanks for this one.

Here are a couple (poor quality) photos of the famous "standing Buddha" located at a cemetery in Ushiku, Japan. The Buddha is 120m (394 ft) tall. (At one time, the Ushiku Daibutsu was listed in the Guinness book of world records as the tallest bronze statue in the world, but I think that claim may no longer be accurate.)
