Morning churchyard

Strong early sunlight was making long shadows during my visit to this old Lincolnshire church.

The long shadows behind the gravestones add some 'mood' to the shot. An interesting juxtaposition of the joy of sunshine, and the sadness of death.

Great contrast. Everything stands out really well.

It looks like a still from the original classic "Night of the living Dead" movie. I love it.

I very much like the composition here and of course the light.
Well done.

Thanks for the feedback guys. English churchyards usually have big trees, so I love to photograph them in the morning when the low sun can shine below the canopies and produces interesting shadows. The churches are always aligned more or less east/west, so the sun in the SSE generally models the building quite well too.
