At a recent photography meeting the topic of 'scene junk', and the need to eliminate it, was raised by Linda, the expert speaker. In this photo I had to move in tight and at a strong angle in order to get a shot. I might have just passed up the shot altogether but I liked the shadows and the rustic look of the gate. In the manipulation process I ended up adding a soft look/glow to make the image a touch more ethereal. After all, this was in a cemetery. For what it is worth, enlarging the photo shows the image as intended, much brighter.

I like this. Grunge without even having to use a filter. Nice angle and composition.
Really nice composition! Love the shadows...which lead my eye thru the image to the pretty red flowers. Great job!
The shadows are great and I love the soft haze feature. Glad you learned something and applied it! I think I'd even love if you were closer so that just the pillars and shadows were visible.
lovely capture of light and shadows.
