Default A trip to the grave yard the week before Halloween

I love this tombstone, I think it's beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time.

I absolutely LOVE these shots! The first one is gorgeous with the fall leaves in the background and the headstone is just beautiful. I think you got a wonderful point of view on the same headstone statue in the second shot too, very creative! I really love these... the first one is something i think i would like to have in a frame great job! Kimi

Yea, I like the first one a lot too. Beautiful colors and still has that eerie feeling. Nice.

The fall colors framing the grave stone really add to the first shot. It looks like a vivid sepia with all of the warm tones. Both are great!

Beautiful work. The stone is almost haunting in it's tragic beauty.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments! I'm just getting started in photography and really enjoying it... Again, thanks for the positive feedback!

BTW, there is something about the moss between her hand and the headstone that I really wanted to capture, I found that tragic alone in its endless devotion...

Thanks all,

Mark
