yep i agree v interesting idea to shoot over the gravestones
has a feel of a vampire crypt, damn the sun is setting ....
i might have put the tower further over to the left but
its quite the goosey bump generator!

What a powerful composition, Patti! And I have to say, hugging the tombstones to get this photo is the mark of a true photographer!! LOL - great job! - Patty with a y

very creative apture of perspective. It appears you were lying down among the tombstones. Hope you stay there long enough to become one of the residents. Good colors and capture of the stone.

Quite aside from the creepy feel you've given us with the perspective of viewing from the middle of the headstones, the church is an amazing sight, and composed in this fashion, it burst into view, even in the thumbnail version. Full size did nothing to dull its impact and of course craning your neck up to see the whole thing was well worth the effort. The textures of the differing colorations on the bricks is stunningly arranged. And I wish I could see the details on the top of the tower and on the windows as well, but it's just too far away to actually make out....The sky and the light cloud layer are contradictory in this take given the ponderous presentment of the church and gravestones, and I would wish for a heavier, more foreboding sky to lend disquiet to the scene if what we are looking for is an eerie composition, but as it is and set behind the richness of the architecture it gives the viewer a little relief. Interesting take..I'm glad I got to see this :)PJ

I like this photograph and the angle you have taken it from enhance the image. i love the way you have capture a couple of the tops of the headstone to give the image depth. Excellent work.
