Landscape Photo Competition 2014 No 1 : Entry Number 419

Judges Comment

Cemeteries do have something that appeals to photographers and can make a good subject. But I am trying to understand the reason you took this photograph. I see you had a beautiful sky and imagine that was part of it. It looks also like there is a beautiful view into the distance and there are some beautiful old trees so maybe they also gave you inspiration. What i don’t understand is the cemetery. Ok, it looks like a nice enough cemetery, but if that is what you wanted to photograph why have you chopped it off at the bottom so? Surely you could have got a better angle, perhaps a point of interest in the foreground rather than all of those chopped off headstones. The nature beyond looks so lovely and it looks like there is a beautiful view from that rocky hill just the other end of the grave yard? I would suggest you think more about your foreground composition when you find nice conditions like you have here.
