Hi BK
Great decision on the b&w for this shot. It tells a much different story to me when its in b&w, particularly given it was shot at a cemetary. Well done on the capture and the transfer from film to digital. Cheers, Todd

Hi BK,

Nice composition, I like your work well.
Welcome in my favorites.

Nice composition and perspective. This cemetery looks like a park to me, but who says that cemeteries are not peaceful and relaxing? ;-)

Good work.

A beautiful shot, rich in tones. Ant also, the first picture shot with a TLR I've seen in years! That really is a fun to work with camera!

The way the branch forms an arch over the path appeals to me here - lovely POV, well done!

I think tree is a very difficult subject to take... they are huge, especially those good looking tree are hard to see... :P

I like the composition here, great details and good choice of colours, I think the tree is like a person bending forward with their right hand to greet someone and shack their hand... :P

Thanks for sharing

Cheers,
Sweety
