Cemetery in the rain

[Allan FG]

I was off to the gym Thanksgiving morning and I noticed that the fog was hanging on the hillsides. I knew there was this old cemetery up there so I drove up to see if I could get any cool shots. This is the only one I liked.

I really like this shot. I've tried my hand at a few cemeteries and they're tricky, for sure. Here's what I like about this photo in particular:

the composition is simple and straightforward
it's clear that the lighter colored gravestone is the subject
the subject is off-center (rule of thirds)
there's just the right amount of DOF to draw the viewer's eye to the subject
the fog, the light, and the subtle colors are well-balancedSo, great job on this one!
