Very fine. Nice repetition of the cross theme, good tones. You've got some nice bokeh in the ULHC - must be an SLR shooter. Guess my only criticism is the blowout on the dove. I don't mind it on the rear wing, but wish it didn't spill down onto the body.
Cant tell by looking at this photo if it was set up, or opportunistic. Either way the composition is above average IMO. The contrast is good. Because the cross in the background is so prevalant due to color and size I would have liked it included in the dof.
I love how black that rock is - very nice contrast. don't particularly care for the weathered cross in the background but perhaps if they were seperate....don't know. good job either way. :)
Interesting composition, I am assuming the dove was "added", nice touch. I like how you got the old/new headstone thing going. You're risking some low grades with all the crosses. There was some discussion about them. Certain youths don't like them. Personally, don't care either way. I wish I was better at critiquing B&W, this is going to be hard for me. No suggestions, really nice work. SMALL Nit: doves back washed out, but I got no magically suggestions on how to avoid that. Photo 10 Creativity 8 B&W 9 total 9
