Ballintober Creepy, a photo from Mayo, North

Photographer's Note

These are the surrounds of Ballintober Abbey, in the County Mayo.

I think i should have uploade this one yesterday, in the halloween day :-)

Well... weather wasn't that friendly but at the end this helped the creepy atmosphere.

Hello Gianluca

Creepy, that is a very fitting description for this photo.
The composition works great, the placing of the cross this close to the viewer makes sure that you are not in doubt where you are.
But I must add, the sky is the creepiest element. How did you you get this colour? Saturation?
Thank you for sharing.

Salut Gianluca,
Un ciel tragique que j'aurais pr馭駻� gris plut que mauve bien que cette derni鑽e couleur alourdit encore son impact sur le cimeti鑽e.
Une approche int駻essante dans le cadrage.
Bien � toi,
Daniel

Hi Gianluca!
Generally, I don't apprecciate photos of cemeteries very much,but I must admit this one is really great.The perspective and the colour of the sky help creating the atmosphere. It's really good!
