Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

A most unusual image, Kris. Delightful, really.
Best wishes,

Pushing up Daisies is a better title IMHO, interesting shot.
Fired many shots. Didn't kill anything.

Great idea for a shot, but I'm not keen on the foreground green blur, especially the bottom right corner. I wonder how it would look with the headstones slightly less out of focus.

At last a good twist on what are normally boring images of flowers. Love it!!

interesting shot, like the depth of field. IMHO i think the shot could benefit from a upward angle, because i think i would be interesting to see the flowers petal.

Do you mean looking down into the flowers? To look upwards would require digging a trench big enough for me to get in, which might be frowned upon in a graveyard!

You mean there wasn't a convenient open grave for you to borrow?

I think it is a stunning shot and very original. Though maybe just a tad off the bottom would improve it .

ah yes, i mean downwards
but i after a second thought, the idea shooting upwards from a trench seem interesting where you get incision of the ground with the flower on top..

Yep, exactly like that. Break the rules and you get a brilliant photo.

I just wish I'd thought of it .

I also think this is brilliant. The second crop is the winner - very cool indeed
