About the Image(s)
Actually I have no idea who these folks are.. The original is a 4 shot HDR with a few LR adjustments for highlights and shadows. Then it was quickly converted to B&W with Seim's Silver. Brought into PS and used a luminosity mask to control the highlights in the trees. Then used NIK Color Efex for contrast and a lower positioned vignette to tone down the upper half of the image.

An interesting record shot of the 3 gravestones, mono suits the subject. I feel that it may have been better taken from a lower viewpoint, so we are not looking down onto the stones. Posted: 07/26/2025 06:45:55
Ok, playing. Of course, I cropped to only two stones, and the post give three subject focus, getting rid of background brush. I also converted to BW using a green filter to grab the moss detail. Just playing and another take.

An interesting image and thoughtfull post processing. Conversion to black and white emphasized composition and contrast. It also invokes a sense of notalgia and timeleessness. I agree with Jon, a lower camera angle can yield a different perspective. Posted: 07/27/2025 07:11:48
