I believe this image should become a featured article because it an altogether interesting image. The use of black and white, gives the image an aged and slightly eerie effect. The shadows and storm clouds in the picture also add a spooky affect. The image is used in pages: The Image was taken by R.N.Marshman, aka User:Brookie) on 12 March 2005.

 * Oppose. Nothing really special with it, is it? Please explain to an amateur. Jonas Olson 13:18, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Brookie here the photographer - you have the menacing clouds in the background the mulitple image of the crosses all set off in B+W all aimed to create a spooky and atmospheric picture - and don't we get a little spooked in graveyards? I do! - does that help? Brookie 17:13, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Support, spooky indeed. Leonardo 21:15, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I think the graveyard is on a hill, but it's hard to tell and this makes the picture feel wonky. I don't like the big shadow on the central gravestone either, especially as we can't see the object whose shadow this is. Yes it's atmospheric, but the composition leaves a little to be desired in my opinion. Lupin 22:44, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * The graveyard is not on a hill at all - it is quite flat. The point of the photo is that you can only see the shadow of another unseen grave.Brookie 08:46, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)


 * Oppose I second Lupin's sentiments and at full res the photo doens't look so good. Personally I don't find graves or graveyards creepy, but that's maybe because I'm not into horror movies :) --Fir0002 23:36, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Support - refreshingly different - Adrian Pingstone 08:12, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Whether or not the location is tilted, the photo certainly is. The headstone appears to be the source of alignment, but is washed out, rendering the detail too bright or too dim to make out. I also find the composition somewhat off-putting, but that's about the only "creepy" thing I see about it. Matthewcieplak 09:45, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Although the storm clouds combined with the trees do create a kind of atmosphere, I find the sloping horizon and the lack of detail on the tombstone a problem. Enochlau 11:00, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Support Wow! --Bricktop 10:52, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Support Composition completely offsets graininess and slight lack of focus. Circeus 17:06, Apr 10, 2005 (UTC)
 * Oppose Grainy, washed out headstone. Junes 08:15, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
