The Stone Doorway Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is another picture of Birkehøj. I was simply so impressed by this particular burial mound that I couldn't quit trying to get pictures of it. Unfortunately my shots within the mound were not nearly as successful and show primarily big rocks and a black hole. I'll have to let the viewer imagine what lays down this stone doorway.

For this photo, I've sharpened it and "warmified" it, and oh yes, and I took it at an angle to get rid of the information sign that is in my other photo of this place.

Like this pic , the tree is very good in this pic and the stone doorway, love it.
What i wanna say (not that I'm any pro or something like that), but try to make the green more green (saturation) I think it will give your pic more contrast.
(This is just what i would have done, I don't say that you have to do that)

Hi Kate:

Very nice POV. The tree and the hole create a harmony to the entire composition of the photo.

Hello Kate,
Nice composition and pov with good sharpness and colours. Like the branches hanging over the enterance as a kind of umbrella.
In the Netherlands you can also find these so-called "Hunnebedden" or prehistorical gravechambers; but none of them has the earthlayer as in your photo: you only see the enormous stones.
Compliments,
Henri
