I thought my chances for photographing something for this challenge were shot when I awoke and saw the thick fog outside my window. Then I hit upon the idea of taking some images in the war cemetery just down the road from me. The thick mist helped to add a moody atmosphere and faded out the background very effectively.
Post script.
Unfortunately my entry got DQ'd as I cloned out a small twig that protruded from behind the gravestone in front. I forgot that only sensor dust or hot pixels are allowed to be removed under Basic rules and that a twig or such may only be removed under Advanced rules. I should have just left it as it was actually.
Disqualification Details
You may use a cloning tool or small healing brush for the sole purpose of removing sensor dust or hot pixels. No other spot-editing is allowed.
