Motuf/Wide Angle

[Jackie Schuknecht]

I took this about three weeks ago and didn't think it was successful. Looking at it last night I thought differently. So I threw out the original file and am guessing at the meta data.
40D
Sigma 10-22 @12
f11
ISO400 AWB
Tripod
around -2/3 EV
Can't remember the shutter speed
Processed in PS then did Orton and converted to BW
Full Frame
Used the history brush to erase some of the headstones to make them in focus and give an anchor point.
Comments appreciated.

Nicely done Jackie,
I like the mood that the monochrome creates, well composed, the lady leads you into the cemetary...:D

[Alfred Forns]

Just fine from my end and really looks good You filled the image with the foreground object and the b&w just takes it over the top !!! Can do some minor local contrasts enhancements Big Congrats !!!!

[Oscar Zangroniz]

Love this B&W capture. You have excellent definitions between the different tones in this capture.

[Richard Waas]

Great job Jackie!! I agree with the minor contrast tweaks, but the comp is awesome.....

[Bill Randall]

The cross member of the cross on the foreground monument is very effective on leading in to the rest of the image. The b and w work is exactly on point for this one. Good work across the board.

Jackie, I agree w/ the others nicely done.

[Harold Davis]

[Nicki Gwynn Jones]

Hi Jackie,
I like the mood of this a lot - you did a great job with the conversion.
Regards,

Very impressive image, perfect BW subject. The only suggestion I might make is that the one head stone to the right of the statue distracts from the general motion that carries the viewer straight ahead and deeper into the cemetery.
Very well done.
Congrats on this one.
