LOL well Kort, it sure is a funny title and very apt too, I might add ! Love the Rebecca West quote and how true that is :o) I love going to cemetaries and taking pictures...we've got a gorgeous one here in Jax with some really old graves. This photo is superb ! Have a great day S hugs

Pretty creepy. Are you sure that's not her middle finger? Ha! KP

Great capture and postwork. I'm sure the lady has seen better days. Almost looks like she's made of dirty ice, or are those smears of carbon black? Good black and white ambiance of a dreary and sullen mood. The kind of stuff you see in horror movies, and an apt contribution to Halloween.

A pointed capture indeed ;) - nice postwork well seen and captured !

Nice shot man, as usual (great quote too). I have a suggestion, however: since the statue has alot of the same colors in it as the ice-covered trees in the background, you could selectively darken the trees to make her stand out a bit more. Can't wait for your next upload, you always keep me guessing as to what you'll do next.

maybe a problem with the right wing too??

very nice picture and excellent contribution halloween ;)

*** Thanks for all the great comments. 'Our Lady' is made of a very dirty looking marble, and this was taken in the summer. The postwork gives it the wintery feel and the 'ice' on the trees is spanish moss ***

Awesome! The infrared-look really brings out a certain mood to it. Well seen there Kort. #:o)

Excellent snap here and quotation! Which finger is that that's missing? :) Really love the old, decaying look of this :)

Oh, how funny! We have similar monuments in our old cemetary here. Vandelism over the last century had taken its toll as well as many storms. I never thought about photographing them for humor before but you may well be on to something... ! Great photo.

very nice IR effect here Kort! And thank you for the comment my friend.. Hummm.. I wonder what are you doing to do in the HALLOWEEN NIGHT! :)) Haunted House, maybe? :P Love the sharpness and the lighting, and yes its an excellent shot dear friend.. Thank you for the share.. JOE

beautiful..S

An excellent pre-Halloween pic! great mood!!! Bravo!!!

Perfectly captured Kort!! The quintessential black and white image!!

I guess that angel wasn't taught the ole saying "it's not polite to point" so she obviouly paid the price..now it's pointless to go on...lol I like the wintery feeling you created ,,,,,

Awesome work! Bravo!

Excellent shot...but those days some motive I am not "crazy about"! I am sure you understand...

mmm...it seems everybody sees something different, she looks like the Ice Queen to me, she almost has a dirty glassy texture about her, got me thinking once again, nice work Kort ~Cheers~

It was a good idea at the time , only time changed and the idea remaned the same ~~~~~~GRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Very interesting image. Excellent. Aloha

because of the uncountable shit that man does i feel compelled to say: i like rebecca's words!!
