Default Cemetery at night...

Hi all, I went to the cemetery for a night tour finding interesting sculptures like this one. It is located in Guanajuato, right upstaris of the mummy's museum.

Can you please critic composition & light?

Note : It was taken w/o tripod

Later I will ask for a critic of the mummy

Thanks Art

Hi - interesting colours!

I'd say composition works ok except the image needs to be rotated slightly so that it is properly vertical.

The lighting does not work for me though; leaving the statue's head in deep shadow while lighting its body seems wrong!

Im torn...
the colors are neat... the composition is good, but, throwing off a bit angled (due to no tripod) and agree above as the lighting on the angel seems a bit wierd...

i bet that was neat being in there tough! looks like there is quite a bit of interesting shots to be had!

Hmmm Art...cemetery tour at night. Sounds a bit creepy for me! But I like your image. I especially love the color including the dark blue sky. The only thing that I can see is the fuzziness of the image from the lack of a tripod.

Cool!

I think he just had fat fingers.

Should be spelled "weird". It means strange. I think the Spanish is extraño but I'm a bit rusty.

Apart from the tilted compo, I also wish there was more light directed to the face of the angel. Just my two cents.

Cheers!
