How very strange. I like it. If you used Photoshop to mask the foreground sign, I think you should learn how to soften the edge of the mask. If not, then I'm impressed with how you managed the technical aspects of this shot.
By the way, I am never the first to assume that a shot has been Photoshopped. I was doing in-camera special effects and composite images on the enlarger long before Photoshop was created. Not bragging...just pointing out that I appreciate craft in photography as well as in Photoshop.

This image is not photoshopped! (the only thing I did was to reduce the greens of the grass). really strange how the sign seems to pop out. photo taken at Central Cemetery Vienna / Austria.

King said 510 days ago:

Excellent! I gave you high marks for this shot, subjectiv, and didn't assume the high relief was created in Photoshop--simply wondered about the possibility.

Terrific. I don't know what else to say about this image. I like everything.

groen65 said 510 days ago:

the sign seems superimposed - nice effect and good colours.

pete said 510 days ago:

great find.. the halo on the sign seems a little too much perhaps.. but great idea :)

JIMJIM said 510 days ago:

I love this one (chocolate syndrome !!), - very striking and great impact !!

owen-b said 510 days ago:

I really like this - something a bit different after so many standard shots of signs framed bang in the middle! If there was a way to have shot it so the graveyard in the distance isn't quite so near the top of the frame that would have been great but as it is I like it a lot. Would really suit B&W, too. :)

Surreal. A great picture, but I think I would have cropped for a straight horizon at the expense of the perpendicularity (real word?) of the sign in the foreground. I'm not suggesting it is, but this shot does look kind faked.

George said 510 days ago:

Wow. That's kinda cool. Almost unreal. As if the sign was superimposed on the background. Not sure why. Maybe it's the very sharp quality. I like this but have to admit it feels like there's something missing...like the rest of the sign as silly as that sounds. I really want to have more context, I guess. Like...what's the story here? Maybe it's the wild night I had :-) but my little brain isn't immediately providing a story to hang on here. The background looks like a cemetary but this front sign doesn't seem to be like anything I've seen at a cemetary. Anyhow, I'm interested to hear the story behind the shot.

subjektiv said 510 days ago:

The Central Cemetery in Vienna is quite large (about 2.5 million square metres with about 250.000 graves) and is divided into groups. I think the sign shows group 18 of the cemetery ('Gruppe 18' in German).

Very interesting, Kurt. Thanks. I was dying to know. (Sorry...couldn't let that terrible pun get away.) Now the image is in complete context to me and I really really like it. You've got a great way of seeing things.

what a disgusting photoshop image mate. aaargh

King said 510 days ago:

lilly,
Go to your room and don't come out until you are ready to apologize!

George said 510 days ago:

lilly, you have a unique way of communicating. where are you from? hungary? and how old are you? more than 20? i've read a few of your comments, not just on this image but on others. it's not possible to tell if you want to get into an argument with someone...or if you don't speak english very well so maybe you cannot express yourself so clearly. so..what is your story?

philippe said 509 days ago:

Ha!Ha! What I find interesting here, is people assuming it is photoshopped... and it's NOT!!

subjektiv said 509 days ago:

If I wouldn't know better I'm sure I'd also think it's photoshopped. But it's not.
@lilly: reading before posting would help (maybe).
@king: ;-)
@george: wonder if she's going to say a word...

George said 508 days ago:

Kurt, did I scare her away? :P

philippe said 508 days ago:

lilly!
