it's a good shot of the subject, but the subject itself just seems to lack interest. the addition of an element might make it more interesting, like a flower or something... or maybe something less cliche, whatever.
I also submitted a graveyard photo. I spent 3 afternoons in 2 different cemetaries and discovered this is quite a difficult subject. =4 in my humble opinion - syamjonimi
Nice colors, but hard to read because I can't find the focal point (is it the "of"?). What suggests age here? I'm not sure, but again, the colors are great. Nice.
I like this and think you've got great clarity in the text. But am not sure about the cropping - would like to see his whole name. Maybe this is one where the curved text at top should be centred in the frame. What is all the blue? Is it the path of some strange glow-in-the-dark snails?
I think backing up and getting the context of this would be the most effective way of making it appear less "flat," and adding some interest. Interesting colors, though. karmat
Good use of light and colour. Looks like you pushed the colour up quite a bit but it works for me. The lighting being strongly off to the side makes the carved letters easily readble and give the picture depth. Great shot.
Interesting shot, I would have liked to be able to read the whole inscription. I feel that the word "of" should have either been centered or purposly placed in a vertical third. In my opinion, Autool
Something old. Use your photographic technique to emphasize the age of your subject. Composition - quite good Technical Aspects - quite good Meets Challenge - yes Visual Impact / Originality - good Looks old, would have liked a date shown.
i wonder if the sense of 'old' would be greater if the whole marker was included in this photo? Since no dates are included, there is no real reference of old.. the image also lacks a sense of depth... - jmsetzler
i would have liked to see the whole gravestone if possible, even though we get the lettering here, the other way might make for a more interesting photo in my opinion
