Taken at the necropolis in Glasgow which was modelled on the Père-Lachaise in Paris. The cemetary is said to have had as much as 50,000 burials and is worth a visit to see some of the stunning architecture and craftmanship in some of the grander tombs.
Unfortunatley, like many other public areas of Glasgow and other major cities, it is prone to vandalism and this is what my picture depicts. Spraypaint on the tombstones is bad enough but some of the heedstones have been kicked over, as is shown here.

I do love the treatment on this one. Composition works very well. Was the left side blurred in software? there appears ot be blurring of the top of the rounded stone at center, but not the bottom, and the clouds are sharp on the right, but not the left.
Excellent shot! I like the focus in the front of photo with the blurring on the left adding a sense of depth and mystery...good tonal quality and despite all the gravestones, there is a lovely symmetry to this shot...8
I am making two passes on this Challenge. I will vote on your photo then return later(before voting is over) to comment on what I like and dislike about your shot. You can take the comments however you wish and I will try not to be mean. Just don't take it the wrong way.

Nice and crisp shot except for the left side. If you meant to do this then I think you hurt yourself by doing it.
Im torn onthis one, I like the dramaticframing, but the dark tones just eat up everything. Sweet framing but I miss the missing information of the greys.
