Description
Fairmount Cemetery, Denver, Colorado"In the end, nothing else matters...."---true words right there, and for this shot I wanted to really capture the light, texture, season, emotion, and feeling.
Processed with Lightroom 3, Photoshop cs5, Dynamic Photo HDR, and Nik Color Efex 3. Shot using my Sony a550, Minolta 28mm f2.8 prime lens, Fotodiox CPL and GND.
Thanks goes to Leasha =Babyc8kes for some editing ideas with this shot
I hope you all like it

I find this interesting, the darkness of the doors and the pillars of this beuatiful old building, and the drooping folliage fronds around the door. It leaves a sense of eriness, yet the warm autumn colours, the green grass and the sunlight take away from this, you get such a sense that by night this would have a whole different feel and emotion to it (same of a black and white shot). I love the sense of a light vignette to the piece, especially at the top, drawing the eyes to the middle of the door as the stone pillars seem to reflect the light, almost glowing, but then the dull tones of the doors almost suck the light out with such a feel of age and time passing. Brilliant.

I think you would like the "Wiener Zentralfriedhof" - one of the biggest and oldest cemetery in Europe

great light, but that shaft of sun is really
detracting from a really lovely image.

Thanks though I think it kind of is symbolic or rather ironic in a sense, seeing as it is a crypt. I'll probably go back in the RAW file and pull back the highlights on it. How was your Fall? Was kind of disappointed here compared to last with the Elk. Not nearly as many up in RMNP

You know I'm a fan of yours but you really outdid yourself on this one. The lighting is perfect and it is so eye-catching. I want to know all about the house and its history.

Great shot. Dead leaf in the ground make more complete your concept about the end.

beautiful composition, lovely location. I love the way that door looks with the vines or whatever hanging down.

Looks cold...even with that shaft of light and the bit of back lit twig. It kind of gives me the creeps to look at it...as if it is a monument to decay.
It is certainly a very well done photograph! But forgive me if i do not enjoy it as much as your sunflower series!
