[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is the famous Recoleta Cemetery during daytime - when I saw that cat just standing there it reminded me of an horror movie (there are hundreds of cats there, and huge crypts).

So converted to B&W and started experimenting, trying to create a "dark, horror-movie mood".

I don´t know if it came out any good, but it was fun trying.

Hello Robert!
You have created a scary atmosphere! I like you have a cat in your composition, because I love cats!
Nice texture and good black/white picture!
Best regards!

Yeah, I think you got the effect that you wanted Robert .. at least I find it to be kinda creepy. Well, cats are a little creepy to me to begin with, and then especially in a setting like this. Black and white is perfect for your intended mood here. Interesting lighting.
Es muy asustadizo :)
Good one Roberto

Cats are evil animals, so they fit perfectly into the cemetery/horror theme. TL is about learning and experimenting - I think you've done that here. You had a goal and you pretty much achieved it. Maybe if the cat was more dominant in the frame with a lower POV it would be even more striking - but I can understand not wanting to get too close to the foul beast ;-)

Olá Robert

gostei bastante dessa sua imagem do cemitério, poderia ser em qualquer parte do Brasil tb, não sei porque, mas os cemitérios estão sempre cheios de gatos.. e vc capturou bem esta ambientação quase simbiótica em um cemitério famoso na Argentina..
Gostei mesmo do preto e branco da foto e das luzes e sombras que vc conseguiu nesta composição.
concordo em parte com o Kilted-Arab já que outro POV originaria outra imagem e foto completamente distinta da apresentada.
abraço;

Taba

Hello Robert.
Great athmosphere presented here.
Well captured.
And photo looks very effective.
From Cementery ....
Best regards

A "atmosferização" da foto funcionou bem. Depois quero ver uma outra opção que pensei nesta foto com vc, mas preciso do original!
Cheers,
Wellington
