HEy Tom,

I was quite fond of your IR cemetary series. This one lacks a little in my opinion though. I don't find the grave piece quite a captivating enough subject. Maybe if it had an angel on top of it or somehing it would catch my attention more.

But great detail in the foilage that is spilling outwards. And I love the contrast between the dark branches as well.

An old grave, uncared for, perhaps forgotten, with only the limbs of the tree for comfort. Evocative image, Tom.

Lovely comp Tom. I really like the tree's embrace of the grave plot and curbing. Good eye pal.

Tim - very kind words; always appreciate your thoughts and suggestions. I like your term 'the tree's embrace'; that puts some life into the image, so to speak!
regards, tom
