Great job on getting a good perspective on the grave stones. I also like the lobster (crab?) traps. One of favorite Left Coast fun shots are piles of crab traps. I'm always drawn to them for some reason.
Thanks for the kind words. Originally from Pittsburgh so moving down to MD and realizing that crabs are actually wonderful was a treat. I had some crabs from the Left Coast once and did not like them.....if you haven't yet you have to try some good old Maryland Blue Crabs......simply delicious.
This guy had quite a bit of crab traps ready to go for the crabbers over here. Quite interesting to photograph.
I was driving some back roads and the tombstones just jumped out....neat find.
I like #3 the best, the branches and the geometry of the church have something going on. You need to watch your horizons though. I don't care for the HDR touch so much, but that is a matter of taste really.

I've been enjoying your thread, Charles. It's nice to see where folks live.
In the first set #5 is the winner here. I like #4 as well, but it looks quite tilted, and there's a big dust spot that I'm surprised you missed. Some of the others look over processed. Watch the halos, like in 3 and 6 for example.
Second set, I love the first two. These are the stars of your series. Looking more closely, the sky in #1 could use some noise reduction. The Camaro shot is way cool. Looks to be abandoned which is a shame. The bridge comp is cool, but again appears over-processed to me.
Last set the first two are OK, but the last one has way too big of a blown area where the sun was.
I'm not a huge fan of the frames. Keep 'em coming if you gottem.
Tried to tighten up the sun but the blow out was partially caused by fog spreading out the light. Got to redo the dust spot. I had other similar dots but they turned out to be birds so I assumed it to be a bird.
When we enter prints in MD they score better with frames, go figure.

Wife and I spend lots of time in Chincoteague and eat blue crabs.
