In peace, and in red Photo

Photographer’s Note

Playing with my new D50 toy in the Allegheny cemetery in Pittsburgh I found this quiet place with strange light filtering through the trees. Weird as it may sound, I enjoyed my visit to the cemetery very much, and felt at peace and even cozy there. It was also a great practice with the new camera.

The image was slightly cropped and a little bit of saturation and sharpness were added.

Hola Daniel,
Good practice! It's nothing strange to enjoy the peace and cozyness of a cemetery, especially one with such a beautiful atmosphere - and you have succeeded to transfer it to your picture very nicely...
Well done, thanks for sharing!

I like this image. I get the sense of pathetic fallacy as nature emulates the same sort of end that has come for these people. I find the photo a bit soft, but I think that works well for you here. It allows me to focus on colour, light and affect rather than detail.
