Beautiful shot! Great camera angle and nicely finished.I don't think I would have cropped the top of the photo off. It kind of closes the shot in and loses some of its impact! Karyl Dalbey

Thanks again for your comments they are much appreciated. I wanted to exclude the sky to keep the eye focused on the cemetery and then lead it down to the coal tailing piles below isolating them from the rest of the landscape while still having the feel for the geography of the area.
