Taken in Olde New Castle which was the first capital of the State of Delaware. This was taken at the Immanual Episocpal Church, built in 1703 and is the grave of former governor Gunning Bedford who died in 1797. My first outing with my new 17-40 L lens on a gray dreary day which ended up being the perfect day for this shot. I did a lot of post processing here which I'm sure I'll get nailed for, but I wanted to set a spooky mood.

I might normally find the post-processing of this a bit extreme, but I think you really made it work well in this image. Terrific perspective and arrangement within the frame.
This is my second go-around =) - very ghastly looking! I really like it! Your colors are fantastic and I really like your composition. Also, great choice of location!
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.
