The vignetting is bothering me. Other than that I like it.

Nice image. For me the vignetting works pretty well and the B&W is great for this image.
Did you use B&W film or convert in the computer?

Assuming you were going for a look reminiscent of those old antique photographs, I think it's done nicely. The almost blown out sky works well with the mood and the vignetting further enhances the overall mood and look of the photo.

Shot in F/4, I assume a lot of the DOF was done post process? That's the only part that seems off to me but that can also be due to the strong vignetting on the left that blends in with the left arm of the cross in the foreground.

Overall, I like it. The old crosses, all at different angles, combined with the bright sky and the dark vignette gives it a great mood. If you're post processing, adding a bit more grain may help too. For the style I think you were going for, I think it's a keeper.

Thank-you for the comments. This was my first attempt using a 24mm tilt shift lens. The image was taken in color and converted to B&W infared using NIK software and then adjusted further by using pinhole effect.

Really good work-since Im new to all of this, your picture actually made me look into how to vignette. So thanks for that! But yes a really good picture and I love the mood you have created with the blacks and whites. Priya.
