Taken inside Bakewell Church. processed in Lightroom.
Added a heavy vignette due to the distracting items in surrounding area, quite like the outcome.
K5II & DA* 16-50

I'm very fond of ecclesiatical monuments. Very nicely done: I rather like the gloom and shallow focus. As Larkin wrote:
" Now, helpless in the hollow of
An unarmorial age, a trough
Of smoke in slow suspended skeins
Above their scrap of history,
Only an attitude remains:
Time has transfigured them into
Untruth. The stone fidelity
They hardly meant has come to be
Their final blazon, and to prove
Our almost-instinct almost true:
What will survive of us is love."
Don't you just love assonance?

Nice shot George. I tend to agree with Old Taffy in that I would like to see just the figure in the foreground in focus.

Andrew - I'm no poet and you've lost me on this one, but an interesting read non the less I'm very fond of ecclesiatical monuments. Very nicely done: I rather like the gloom and shallow focus. As Larkin wrote:

Thanks for the other comments, I'll need to take my 50 1.4 next time as I think this was shot at about F3.2 and the lens only goes to 2.8.

Vignetting the periphery was a good idea. However, I find the oof figure of her husband's tomb a bit distracting. I'm not sure if I would have preferred a small stop to keep both tombs in focus, or else a really large aperture to fuss him out of recognition.
Happy New Year,
Martin
