Very good image, very well spotted and produced. The repeated gravestone outlines have great power and will resonate in different ways with different people.

Thanks - actually alot of processing here. Taken the same time as a sunny, bright entry in the last challenge, but the lighted edges of each stone catching the sun is what caught my eye here, so I spot-metered off a highlit edge to close the aperture and speed up the shutter, then darkened more in post so that the pattern stood out more. I only had an ultra-compact with me, so no manual controls! Still, it was fun experimenting with lots of different types of shots at the cemetary - a place I don't often visit (my grandfather's is the second row, on the left).

Agree with Chris a very chilling shot, but only because of the lighting. If it had been blue sky and grass around the stones you would have achieved a completely different reaction. Great repetition, very effective.

Indeed, there's both subjective and objective repetition here.

Quite a chilling shot Justin.
