This is awesome. Very eerie feel to it. I love it!

The leaning gravestones look a touch to welcoming to me :-)
Seriously though, a very fine image.

Oh this is wonderful! I love churchyards, and this one is displayed in such a nice long view. I like the leaning stones, they point the way. I also find them a bit unsettling, which is good because it means your shot has impact. V

Superb perspective leading to the church, the eyes walking through the rows of graves. Great image! v

ANOTHER very fine image in your series... the way the left stones lean into the frame makes this shot.. great comp and light
Phillip Normanton11-Jan-2010 23:38
Super composition - I like how everything's more-or-less a midtone until you hit the tree!
Kathryn11-Jan-2010 22:26
I like the way you have taken it through the gravestones,
it all seems perfect, the wonderful tree to the left too.
Doug Cruden11-Jan-2010 22:12
Brilliant shot Stewart - glad to see you putting the Siggie through its winter paces :o)) I love the composition you've created here with the tombstones - my eye picks its way gingerly through the mid-ground stones until it finds the church, all the while being kept firmly in the centre of the frame by the shadow of the two biggies at the front and the overhanging branches of the tree...superb optical effect!!

Stephanie11-Jan-2010 22:03
This is so lovely Stewart! A terrific point of view here. V
Guest 11-Jan-2010 22:01
Very beautiful winterscene.
Máire Uí Mhaicín11-Jan-2010 21:51
A lovely winter snow scene.Old churchyards are so compelling: to look at and to photograph.
Guest 11-Jan-2010 21:39
your fabulous use of the UWA, works so well, a nice up close foreground, leads in to a great background.
Mairéad11-Jan-2010 21:23
A beautiful winter scene with the old tombstones leading the eye that pretty church. V
J. Scott Coile11-Jan-2010 21:00
Looks like a historic congregation 6 feet under...
Barbara Heide11-Jan-2010 20:51
definitely you are so good at these... fantastic shot again! v
Nancy Good11-Jan-2010 20:50
Such a strong composition ... love the leaning tombstones, too, as they remind us that nothing is permanent.
Ann...11-Jan-2010 20:45
Idyllic winter scene. Excellent composition.
Bernard Davis11-Jan-2010 20:30
Lovely old churchyard. They are always so photgenic and the snow just helps even more.
Johnny JAG11-Jan-2010 20:29
Very strong composition
Kevin Chester11-Jan-2010 20:27
Great POV, they do look great in the snow
McGarva11-Jan-2010 20:26
Great lead line through the graves ... the tree gives it that spooky nervy view ... a very different POV to the useful images here ... brill!
