Got a cemetary right aroung the block from me, I'll have to try.

To me, this is thinking about a great shot. Not straight on, but definitely inviting me to walk through the gate into the field. YES!

Yep!

Very nice, dramatic. Did you happen to get a shot also with the headstone and statue a little more illuminated-love the second photo!

Clearly, not in years. I wish ObiWan, whoever and where ever he is, would take all the technical stuff out of the camera and just leave the fun stuff! :D

Something fasinating about cemetaries . I love to photograph anything old, worn, beatup, I'm one with an "old soul" , some people say, with just alot of "old junk", since i collect old worn out things. But like photos, they tell stories. I usually don't like family photos til they're about 30 years old, then they interest me. I've wanted to shoot headstones, but afraid people would think me a freak. Good work.

Sinatra-I just don't know. Am I wrong to say someones having early cocktails? Or is it, that I am needing one to follow this conversation? :hunf: :D

Notno- well said sorta, then you made my right side get tangled up with my left side on that last part. Love the cathedral window photo, makes me keep looking, that's what i like about photos. My eyes were drawn to the stonework on botom left all the way throughout the rest of the photo. :thumbup:

The headstone photo--BEAUTIFUL!! Art gallery!!!

USMC, Dont take my comments as negative, were asking what others see in our photos, so here goes. 1st, I LOVE your subject matter, tells great stories and I want to keep studing the photos to see what i find out about these men!Photo 1-by my eyes, he's too centered , wondering what he's looking at, little more light on face #2-love to see subject full frame close up from head to knee, little light on face or what if you shot photo of him from the side he was facing, interesting-#3 love the tables but not the pole down the center-would like to see shot from either side or the items on the tables would have been a great shot zoomed in on#4 like the photo, would like to see what kinds of expressions these men had on thier faces#5 is there a reflection in the top of the picture? #6 WOWWW! LOVE IT!!!What a moment! #7 Great picure but what if you were more to the right and maybe crouched on the ground with an upward view with less tent on the right? I"M NO PRO , so don't take these comments negatively please, I love your storytelling!

henrycrafter, i feel its not that a photo is judged by like or dislike, its just what one set of eyes see, is totally different than what antoher set of eyes sees. When i first started taking phots which wasn't too long ago, i thought wow that's perfect, but asked for critique and got it. Studied and took in what people said, tried thier suggestions, and got a whole lot better photo-then looked at the origional and yes it did need improvement. I consider anothers judgement as free schooling. :-D

CCC, you ask for honest opinions, but i do find some people dont want that, but i do tell what i see through my eyes. Of course, i say i'm i see things differently than most, kinda cockeyed i say. But i will give my opinions on the war photos .

I would hang this on my wall. Beautiful. It made me look and study it for a while. Alot to take in and look at.

I see the same critiques as jdtx-third one is favorite,would like to see a little more brightness on headstones.

Looks like a wicked fish with his mouth open. I think its great/
