First one for me, nice composition and clarity. There does seem to be a slight purple cast to the wood and the stone? Interesting bokeh too, almost like mirror lens doughnuts

The magenta cast is a bit of a pain. All my slides, whatever make, come out of the scanner with it and I try and fix it in PS but not always as successfully as I would like.

Really nice Kris, you've reminded me of some graveyard shots of mine that I should re-visit.

I'm a sucker for graveyard shots and these are very nice, Kris. The colour is a bit "cool" in the first one, but not seriously so.
Best wishes,

I think this is an improvement, colour wise.

Nice shots

I can't argue with the one above being an improvement in terms of colour.
K10D, K5 plus plenty of clueless enthusiasm.

The reworked first one is really good, might also look good in mono?

Both lovely and evocative Kris. The edited No 1 is very good.

We also get headstones here that have been eroded relatively quickly - I suppose it is the soft sandstone.

Version II is much better. The wood's brown now!
Best wishes,

Here is a monochrome conversion. I still prefer the second colour version myself.

Of the two cross images, I prefer the second colour one. But in all, I prefer the mono headstone. I like the way you've picked up the differnt textures in the stone as each layer is revealed.
Getting there! Thanks to you guys

Yes I agree after seeing the colour version out does work better. It's a really god image.
