Not your typical cemetery, has the atmosphere of a much older cemetery.

@JoeB: Some early 1900 graves here I think. Will be posting some photos from one going back to the late 1800's next week or so. I don't usually bother with cemeteries that look like they are post-1950 or so.
Lovely subject, nice lichen on old stone. (maybe a little heavy with the blurtool on the background, 12 bit?)

@Peter: Didn't blur the background actually. The blur is the product of the narrow dof @ f1.8. The haloing effect along the tree line is the product of a shadow/highlight adjustment. I thought about backing off to reduce or eliminate it but ultimately decided I wasn't trying to produce a "realistic" image and the halo didn't bother me.
@dj.tigersprout: HDR, yes and no. Technically, no, since it was created from a single frame. However, I created high and low key versions of the original exposure and processed them as hdr.
