Title: Flood in the Graveyard
Post by: churly on April 27, 2013, 08:37:21 am

I'm sure this isn't everyone's cup of tea but that's ok.

Okay for sure. After a while tea gets boring. I think this is an interesting shot.

It’s a wonderful abstract.

My only critique is that the title gives it a creepy edge that won’t go away and causes my aging memory to bring up images from the past that showed coffins and some bodies that were, uh, exhumed due to flooding of other grave yards.

Thanks for the comments guys. 

Yes there is indeed a bit of darkness in this one but in this case, that's what tells the story.

It's a nice treatment and also a great shape.

I'd like to try that with boats and lots of colour, but I don't have a neutral density set of filters and, apart from that, it's become bewilderingly difficult to find Kodachrome 25 these days, never mind feed it into a D700... not that an F4s wasn't just as awkward.

Mysterious but I like the shapes and the sense of flow…

Nice one, Chuck. I wonder how a more neutral title would fit.

What?  Tempest in the Graveyard?  Fury in the Graveyard?  Havoc in the Graveyard?

Cheers,

LOL

Yes, and the tones across the limited color palatte.

Well I don't know.  I just called it as I see it.  But 'damp stones'?  That's just plain(s) lame.  :D :D
