This picture give a sense of mortality and despair, the greyscale tone accompained with the cloudy sky and the seemly never ending graveyard.
Makes me think of the acopolypse, no life, just unmarked graves as far as the eye can see

Well cause this is great

man, this is so dark and gloomy. i'd love to live near a graveyard. my best friend does and i always want to go and take pictures there. well anyway, i like the composition of this one.

Thank you! Yeah! It's Summer in England. The sky is overcast and if you look at the full view you'll see cricketers in the distance! lol

Thanks for commenting, I really appreciate your views. Your stuff is so inspired and different. Thanks.

Although the darkened clouds and overall tone of this image suggest foreshadowing and mourning,there is also a pathway present. It leads in the direction of numerous other graves which could mean into death,however in that distance,the sky has brightened the path just a bit.

Perhaps this could suggest that there is something positive. To whomever is walking along that path,a glance forward amongst the dead(many of them hopefully experienced with life) may introduce wisdom or hope for the future;which is bright.

Also,that path could be a metaphor for life,and the imagery a message to appreciate all aspects of life,death included.To have respect for those who have passed and all they may have taught us.

or i'm reading too much into it. Lovely work though!

My goodness! I've never had a critique to one of my works like this. I give them out but it's so weird to receive one, so thank you.

I'm just about to upload a revised version of this. This is too dark and I have never been satisfied with it. Basically it's just a little lighter. I must say, though, that I have hesitated, and now you say all this about it!

It's a spot next to my local church that looks out over a cricket club. On full view you should be able to make out some cricketers in the distance! I find it a fascinating place and I'm forever snapping away there.

I'm so glad you see so much in it. I find it difficult to put in to words why I make and show some of the stuff I do. It's wonderful to have someone make real comments and feedback what they feel about a piece. I'm so grateful.

I think my motivation with this was the combination of the dead, the wonderful view, the overcast sky and the cricket game. It just feels right to me, but the lighting has plagued me. The path was interesting but you put a whole new light on it for me.

Thank you, thank you thank you, for sharing your thoughts!

I have no doubt that you have expressed what you see and feel in this piece. That is between you and the piece. I don't believe it's possible to read too much in to a work if that is what you read!

Thanks again.

Now! To return the compliment. I picked "Flower Vase Still Life".

Hmmm...

You're of course very welcome,and that was indeed an honest,immediate personal reaction as always . When there's time,i quite enjoy offering critique as well;eventhough it's usually amateur and a bit off!

It is rather dark,and fullview is a must.The dark of the building provides sharp contrast which directs attention straight toward the light and graveyard. (and now that i notice them,the cricket players as well...interesting place to play). A lighter version would perhaps be better,just as long as there's still enough contrast. Good luck with any new versions,i look forward to seeing them.
