The age of the cemetery makes the photo fascinating. You just want to read all of the grave stones. The ocean gives the picture a serene feel. The photo is clean and sharp. Well done, and thank you for sharing.

Very interesting shot to study. There is such variety in the headstones in these old cemeteries. Good color. I like the bay/sea in the back ground. Good details. Well seen and well shot.

What an interesting view of a cemetery. The coastline makes it looks like a wonderful resting place. Very good DOF and clarity. I think this is the first time I've viewed a cemetery near water. Very unique and a pleasure to view.

Interesting photograph with good foreground definition and fading away to the sea ending somewhere in the mist and sky. A somewhat interesting commentary about this graveyard. However, I see it differently. Must have been a lot of good and loved folks buried here based on the care of the grounds and the expensive tombstones. It appears they were buried with love and honor. Reasons for my five star vote.

Comment from Dick Lee Shia


Up & down...
More ascended I supposed judging from this tranquil looking place.
A serene feel.
The crosses looks like solemn souls secretly searching for serenity...
(no pun intended & no offense meant)...:
Great story telling factor. Overcast illumination.
Sharply focused.
Ideally framed!

Good perspective & long depth of field...
Verdant overtone!

Thanks for sharing...

Nik,
A beautiful & peaceful picture of this coastal cemetery with some grave stones sinking & tilting above the beloved deceased lying there, the sea bringing light & life to the scene...If stones could talk what night time tales might be told. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
Susan

Nice photo of a very interesting area! This photo does its job and and transported me to somewhere I have never been. Thank you for sharing and I imagine the souls at rest no matter their destination appreciate a obviously glorious place to start their journey

This cemetery has such a lovely location, and it looks like some of the graves are very old. In Norway you would have seen flowers growing in front of the head stones, but perhaps this is not a tradition in England.

I especially like that we can see the sea in the background, and your photo is also nice and sharp showing clear and well defined details in the head stones. I also think the exposure is very good.

The format and framing is very good, and with diagonal slope ad the fine leading lines, it is a very good balance in the composition. It is a lovely and well taken photo, and with a very good DOF.

    Your very fine thoughtful and detailed review is very much appreciated! In England cemetery flowers are not usually grown but added in special holders.

Great Composition, Love the coloring and the contrast. The element of lines perfectly leads the eyes up the hill. A slightly different angle would also lead the viewer to the water. The contrast is beautiful! I love the sharp focus in the front of the image and the hazy sky over the back of the water. The horizon line is perfectly placed. Only think I would try to do is to take the photo from an angle where the lines lead the view not only up the hill, but also to the water if possible! Beautiful photograph!

The dark domes are in such contrast to the green grass. Unique perspective along with your description. Nice colors and depth of field....nice capture. Creepy yet peaceful setting :)
