I'm rather behind in my negatives. This is from back in February, when it snowed a bit in Atlanta. I went the next day to the cemetery near my house to take some photos.

I like the shadows on the snow, they look like the dark veins in marble. There's something very soft and tranquil about this crisp winter day.

I like the shadows of the limbs across the snow. I think the snow gives the cemetery a stark look that fits!

I like that nice dark sky and how the shadows on the grave stones create contrasts between them. And those shadows in the snow from the trees is the filling in the doughnut.

I like the eerie feel to it; I want to look around for ghosts!

Love the viewpoint from the ground up. Really nice composition!

I really like this one. It has a lot of mood/atmosphere, and it is well composed and framed. I like to photograph in cemetaries. When there's no visitors around, of course. And I've taken many photos of headstones, especially in the winter time. It's been good practice for me, but I've never really captured what I'm after.
Good work here.

Exceptional image Otto!

Snow and cemeteries combined seem to sum up the emotion of such places and all just passing. The shadows of the trees in the foreground are very nice.

There's a calmness that blows my mind. And your light & tones are one of a kind, Otto. As are your shadows. Terrific! All the best & safe travels, Fritsch.
