Hi Linda,

Cemetery statues make interesting subjects and I like your perspective on this. Well composed and the CP filter did a nice job with the sky.

TFS,
Werner

So peaceful - so pretty against the blue blue sky. Hi Linda, it's a special place - and I guess you can be there in silence and peace ...
Thanks, I like it

Hi Linda:)
Cemeteries... oh well, these places have special mood always as well as depressing! - but when we see unusual places like this, with some sculpture as memories make as think...
Picture is very well balanced - perfect angle, frame intact and amazing skies for BG. I'm impressed by light balance - this is bright stone usually reflecting to strong! - very good work.

In need of this..... Our small town lost a hero Monday in Afghanistan he was one of the helicopter pilots!=(... the whole town has a different feel....


I can not remember such detail in that Angel statue... .. just looking at her wings I am amazed!!!! the light is very nice.. the cemetery was very peaceful..

I like just the hint of colors changing in the BG....


Yes that is me always wondering and asking questions WHY? HOW? WHERE!!!


I wish I could help you with the town.. but we where in so many towns that last day....

bella diagonale e ottima ripresa della statua dell'angelo
non vado tanto d'accordo con gli angeli ma questa foto va premiata per la limpidezza dei dettagli e per la ottima saturazione dei colori
La diagonale dello sfondo dovuto al taglio degli alberi e del cielo contribuisce ad un'ottima prospettiva e a dare riempimento alla fotografia.
Un ottimo effetto dato dalla centralità della croce e dell'angelo, che quasi si gira su se stesso in un movimento finto dinamico onde ad ottenere una circolarità del momento catturato.
hai fatto un bel lavoro Shelly.
Sei proprio una maestra per tutti noi...

beautiful diagonal and excellent recovery of the statue of the angel
I do not go so well with the angels, but this photo is awarded for the clarity of detail and the excellent color saturation
The diagonal of the background due to cutting of trees and sky helps to fill a good perspective and give to photography.
A good effect given by the centrality of the cross and the angel, who almost turns on itself in a movement in order to obtain a fake dynamic circularity of the moment captured.
You did a good job Shelly.
You're a teacher for all of us ...

with love
Anda

Hi Linda
Cemetaries are great attractions for history,often finding very unusual monuments but the classics are always the best to look at with time aging them.
This is really a beautiful sculpture, the angle of the shot really shows it off well. Your capture brings about the peacefulness to come.

Hi, Linda -
This is a great image of this incredible monument. I love the sharp details of the texture of the stone, which are excellent despite the obviously strong sunlight. Simply composed with nice deep and warm colors. Great work!

Hi Linda,
Very empowering image, I feel like I'm there! Such deep blue tones in the sky, which seems to make the details stand out even further. Impressive work buddy.

TFS,
Scott.
