The small CROSS marks this site show the nature of GOD in our lives if we choose to follow him / her and think hope all is okay in the modern world and makes me enjoy your work. Posted: 11/09/2025 21:41:59
The edited version shows more definition and colour in the sky. Very moody, as you say. I would have liked to see the very top of the central wall though, even if we cannot see (or need to see) all of the wall on the far left. Nice composition allowing us to see more gravestones and the distant hills in the background. Posted: 11/12/2025 14:38:24

Good feedback, thanks Steven. Posted: 11/14/2025 13:38:09
Bringing out the clouds and details in the sky was a good call. I like that the view of the site extends into the distance on the right and adds more interest to the image. Posted: 11/17/2025 22:02:10
