Added to my favs but meant to comment>>> Seems as though this is what TM was made for. Lots of fine detail and texture brought out from fore to back. The forground branches and the looming clouds lend an ominous air to the pic.
If I had voted in this Challenge (and I've only just looked at the Top Ten) I would have said "There's Bear with that Church again." How many times have you used it now?
Bear this is a great shot with loverly colorings, mood and perspective... but your going to have to find a new church to photograph or everyone will pick it as being yours, just like I have to stop taking photos of the Opera House here in Sydney
There are many graveyard scenes and I do like this one alot. Nice wide angle and the perspective is good. The ranches hanging over the top make for a nice frame. Too bad it's basic and you can't get rid of the power lines.
