Non- eligible Decay

grabbed a few shots of a deteriorating mausoleum in a cemetary recently which I thought fit this theme and even though I'm not eligible to participate in the Challenge I thought I could have a little fun posting.

This from the entry doors. Do you like it?

    Hi Angelo!!

    Yes, I like it. Seeing monuments to the dead fall into disrepair is very poignant for me.

    Sorry mods can't play the game. It must get frustrating from time to time. Of course, it can get frustrating to participate too. rolleyes1.gif

    I do like it, although it seems quite soft to me.

    Hey Angelo! Chomping at the LPS bit? I have a particular affinity for this round's theme, too. :D

    I agree, it looks a bit soft but I still like it. The angle gives it a little je ne sais quois. Since the doors have such a nice color to them I kind of want to see more. But maybe this shot is from the perspective of a tired zombie coming home for the day?

    hey everyone, thanks for looking.

    I added just a touch of gauzian blur for effect... I probably should have bumped it up a bit to make it more "purposeful" ne_nau.gif

    I thought the zombies were allowed in on the ancestor clause?

    BTW Angelo, I agree that the blur is distracting. I would like to see the lock and chain crisp with a shallow DOF. Just my $.02. (trying not to derail the thread TOO much)
