Photographer's Notes
This was not what I was imagining when I set out to imply some lines today. I had in mind an Arlington National Cemetery sort of image with neat white headstones all lined up perfectly making implied lines in many directions all at once. What I had access to was a cemetery w/o the neat rows of headstones. When I got back and began editing, I was struck that this looked like a golf tournament where the headstones were lined up like a gallery. Hence the title. Going for laughs will probably bite me.
It was raining steadily so these were shot handheld through the open window of my car.

Its very interesting place... i like these trees and some monuments at back and fog. I understand that you wanted to stress on that line but feels too croped on these beautiful trees to enjoy complete picture.
This image fits the challenge but it has a static feel. My two cents for improvement would be to get up close to the first gravestone on the right and shoot it and make iy a perpective study. 5
