Hi luv2farmnd,

This is a very intriguing. It's very mysterious and engaging. I can see why you like it; I like it too. I really like how everything is askew and there are some strong diagonal lines. Nice.

For me, my eye is always drawn to the brightest part of the image. In this image the brightest part is the sky underneath the bell, but I don't think that is the most important part of the image. If it was my image, I would make the bell the brightest thing, or maybe the sign. I think that processing the image so that there are a bright and dark areas is right idea, but I want to see the focus somewhere else.

But that's just my idea.

KG

love the photo man. but i think the "BETHAN" in "bethania cemetery" pops out too much. a bit unnatural for me (did you edit it or it just came out like that?). maybe the shadows outlining the letters attracts too much attention. other than that, love the photo man.

Thanks, No I didnt do any editing the the bell at all. Just the way it turned out. My hubby thought it was pretty cool but it is fun to see what others think of it and how a person takes pics.
Thanks always appreciate comments!
