My initial thought for this challenge was a cemetery shot on a cold winter day. What I ended up with, was a night shot one day after 11 inches of snowfall, followed by a full day of sunshine. This was the last shot I took at my second location. Worried about the numerous trespassing after sunset signs, this shot was quickly taken as the last of 21 shots. Cropped and resized for the challenge.

Nice thought. A graveyard at night. I think a tighter crop, getting rid of the top pat of the tree might help here. My eyes keep going top the branches at the top of the image.
this really is the best of the cemetery shots...dramatic & really conveys cold silent. The border does distract a little..makes my eye pull outward near the top of the tree.
My favorite gravesite shot. The night time works with b&w, snow adds enough light to make the composition dramatic. The tree adds an interesting element.
If it were possible, I would have liked to see a slightly different angle so the branches don't actually touch the lines of the gravestones.. cool Idea.. Makes me want to go hang out in the graveyard here.
