Another shot from the semetary at the Liverpool Anglican.
The colour effect was achieved by converting the image to LAB colours, and blurring the A and B channels, while sharpening the Luminosity channel. Then the image was converted into RGB, contrast increased dramatically, blurred slightly, and desaturated.

What I am you, too, shall become.

Photograph shows good imagination and thought for the Challenge.
Depth of field is good as is the composition.
A very different approach in which to place the angle of your camera lens; shows initiative and imagination.
Very clear focus on the first and second Headstone, but things seem blurry from there on; I like the way you captured the decaying features of the various Stones. Such a shame that they are ignored this way!
I especially like the coloring of the Headstones and the Walls of the buildings, both behind the Headstones and at the end of the walkway. The cobblestone walkway is all washed out.
I wonder what this photograph would look like in Black and White? Bet it would be a beauty!
The interest of this photograph lies within the viewer and the viewer as such casts the final vote.
Your finishing score of 5.4 is not that low and I don’t see anything really technically wrong with your photo so it has to be something wrong with the visual impact that kept your score down.
Keep shooting Haje; get your creative juices running, practice more, have fun, shoot, shoot, and your scores are going to go zoom, zoom!
I love the perspective and tones in this image.Very nice evocation of time for me.Things seem a bit out of focus, when I feel that in this case they should be in focus--but that light! That light on the stones! Wow!
