Nice that! My initial take would have been a mono conversion with a heavy vignette - but this works!

I've done Celtic crosses before in b&w, and it's a bit of a cliche, if you don't mind me saying, Dave. So I thought I'd bring out the "Celtic colours" as some would have it.

Now that is nice. The over-abundance of detail really works here and the separation is created by the colour (I suspect it would look muddled in B&W). I was going to alter anything it would be to trim maybe 10-20% or so off the top to bring the cross into the upper third. Lovely shot - autumn really has inspired you Rob!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Pete. You might be right about the crop. Will give it a try.

 

[Dave Green]

Cliches are cliches for a reason though - 'cos they work

But - as I said - this works great in colour!

My fave type of cross. Here's one i took in Jan 2008 on a sony 850i, i thought it was the coolest in the whole cemetery.




If i have a tombstone (im not sure i will) i would want symbols from various faiths. Celtic Cross would be there.

Its refreshing to see one in color, Rob, and the colors here most certainly work nice. (Celtic colors...? Its in Edinburgh, no? More like Hibs colors up top, Hearts doon below.)

Nice one, Brian.
