Description
Rendered in Carrara, Daz, and Poser, with some messing around in Filter Forge and PSP. I've been working on this one too long. It was time to let it go even though I'm not happy with it.
Brief credits: grubby guys and morning hair for M3 at Daz, V3, Daz cemetery. For the plants I used Lisa's Botanicals, Flinks meadows, Toucan's free Calla lily, and XFrog.
Sorry I've been slow to visit your galleries this month. I've been in Chicago training for dance a couple of times, and this week I was just summoned for jury duty. So if I am not here for a while that's why. Whenever I return I'll try to catch up with all of your amazing galleries.
Thanks so much for the favorites and comments. It means a great deal to me. I keep plugging away trying to learn all the new software. And you all inspire me to continue.

What's not to like? There's a great bit of story-telling here and a wonderful atmosphere. There's also a nice timeless quality to it. I like the subtle expression on the gravedigger's face - wonderfully understated.
I really like this one. Great amtosphere and a story-telling image. Excellent work!
Wondrous scene!!!!!

EXCELLENT WORK & SCENE !!!!!
Superb composition, I very much like the mood of this wonderful scene. Excellent work!
Great concept, very well crafted!!! Excellent!!
Very imaginative and good mix of different applications!!!
Fantastic scene and composition!Amazing work!!!
Lots of things going on in this image. It's very evocative and the composition is well thought-out. I can see where one would be tempted to tweak an image like that to death. You didn't though, and I think the result is really strong. Great job!
The piece has great pieces of work collaged ...I like the theme of it Oh you too were on jury duty...isn't it the pits? LOL
Wonderfull composition with splendid details!
wonderful ghostly compo that tells a story !!! REALLY spectacular work !!!
Stunning composition ! Excellent !!
I'm liking this very much. It suits me mood right now. Quiet, comtemplative, looking at life.. and death. Feeling that death is just another beginning to a different life .. And I agree with kitzie21, it would be easy to tweak this to death, and you didn't. PS: post a photo of your pup? I got mine scattered around all over my gallery.
A successful mood. What a work!
Excellent work!!!!
Superb composition, atmosphere, work!!!
Such truly fascinating, mystical and marvellous scenes of your creation! It's eerie, yet mysterious! Excellent mist effect and the detail is absolutely stunning! A stunning and most original composition!
Really impressive image. Excellent! It was wortth the time you spent on it!
exquisite.
Fantastic image! Superb composition and detail! BRILLIANT!
great mysteries of the past, nice work.
wonderful atmosphere!!!!!!!!
Wonderful work, Cathy. Love this composition. A beautiful and peaceful scenario. Many fine details in this. The misty garden looks fantastic. The ghostly Madonna dancing at the foot of the tree is a strong component too. It feels like this, when they move our dead relatives on a cemetary, for what ever reasons. Sometimes they have to.
excellent composition!!!
