A solid sign amidst a confusing world, strong symbolic picture!

Interesting. 19th century graves?

@MadScientist: You know everything. You must be some kind of polymath.

Again, my kind of photo. My eye is drawn however to the shape in the background on the left. I'm curious about that.

I like the rough hewn quality of the cross including its texture or grain. Nice shot.

This is a well-balanced composition, tones are spot-on.

Tones, focus, and shallow dof makes this a great image.

You've got this way with depth of field...bringing your subject right into view, but yet the rest of the photo/background is equally as important. Like this one.
So good!

@bluechameleon: Thank you, though I didn't manage to get that dreamy mysterious look you do so well.
