I vote for 5- Graveyard Shift. I can definitely appreciate the guts to go out into a graveyard on Halloween at midnight! I really like that you can see the stars, but I wonder how it would look if the picture, or just the sky, were just a little less exposed. It almost looks like daytime, which is kind of weird. Good work!

I had to delete my vote - I put the wrong number for the photo I was looking at. ha
#4, the dark and mysterious woman. Like I said, I'm a sucker for a good close up portrait. Nice sharp eye. Well framed.

my vote goes to #5 Graveyard Shift. I love night photography. I appreciate the great depth of field on this especially because I know how hard it is to get perfect when you're shooting in the dark.
I also really like #7 for all the reasons others have already stated.

#7 Gets my vote, its almost hypnotic.

# 2 and 7 are my favorites, but I prefer 7 for the simple but yet calming effect. Thanks for sharing all of your pictures ! Great work all.

I have to vote #7, it's simplicity is captivating, a great photo in many different ways (composition, lighting). Other notable mentions for me are 4 (if the challenge had bee portrait this one would get my vote) and 5.

Wow.. these are great. I'll vote for #5. The tombstone's are perfectly placed (IMO) and with the background, there's a calm yet foreboding air to the photograph. Great pic.

My vote goes to: - 5 Graveyard Shift - I had to open all images to see them one by one - I saw that (5 Graveyard Shift) Used a long shutter speed and I feel that the composition is really god - Great work !

3 gets my vote as it looks like the stalagmites and stalactites are teeth about to eat you upon entering!

I vote for "Enter my humble abode". I think that this image is both technically excellent and very imaginative.
