Having fun with that WA! A few from Waverly cemetery today. C&C welcome.

The first one is a standout for me macka. It has a great atmosphere, with the rubble in the foreground and the nice clouds, combined with the high contrast B&W.

My only gripe (very small) is that the sky seems fairly noisy. Was this a red channel conversion? Or perhaps it's a result of the compression for the web.

number 4 for me. really like the perspective

Hey Macka,
#1, great composition & BW conversion.

no. 1 is tops

To be different it is number 3 and 4 for me.

I like the foreground in number 3, the old wrought iron fence and the flowers. The only thing I would look at cloning out would be the branch / twig leading to the first headstone from the fence.

Agree that the perspective on number 4 is really appealing. I would have been tempted to leave the sky blue (if it was in the first place) with the rest black and white, to me that would be the religious implication that there is a place beyond and heaven is above and all colour. (No I am not trying to offend anyone's religious beliefs here, just a personal observation).

These shots really evoke the atmosphere of the place. My favourite is no. 1 also. It's reminiscent of a scene from "Fearless Vampire Killers'. Well done Macka.

 BTW what WA are you using?

Thanks to everyone for your comments.

Owen, I don't think it's from the conversion... could be compression.

Timbo, I'm using the Tokina 12-24 and it's awesome.

Kris, really like the perspective you gained with the wa in 1 & 2

I agree with you about the 12-24 Macka. I have it and love it.

Regards, Tim

#1 for me Macka, great image. Perhaps cropping a little off the bottom of the image,. Seems a little messy and would give more prominence to the flowers as foreground with the overturned cross laying at their feet. probably I would try darkening the sky for extra mood too. Say with Nik Col Effex Grey grad
