Welllllllllll......never mind.....the cropped look is better...but put it back in the original post color. (I guess I should have looked at all the pics before suggesting a crop...geesh...)

I prefer the B&W version. Minimal color information really contributes to the overall mood of the image. Very nicely done. I love cemeteries (will soon be residing in one) but unfortunately most people try to ignore the fact of ultimate fate.

Very nice photo. I didn't see (before) your "original". I'm not a professional either, so I don't know if my opinion would give you something. I really like this one, has got a nice mood, a bit spooky, wonderful light. I also like the grain... but somehow I have the feeling that the tree to the left makes the composition a bit too... much? If you could go back and try other angles, "press" the scene together a bit?... That "too much feeling" (from the tree to the left) is not so strong the way you cropped the original.
Good work, anyway.
Best regards, Alex

Tnx for visit and comment. My last shot was taken at Tende in Val Roya a beautiful land of France near "Cote d'Azur". I like this image for the great mood. Congrats. Regards, Nino.

Misty fog, peaceful, well captured, could use bit more contrast but I like the photo Kelly.

Kelly,
the image does work better in B&W and I think it could stand to use even more grain. I think I would crop off the left side tree and burn in the bright spot in the upper right. Burn in a few of the head stones and dodge the ground a little. Play with this image, have fun with it.

Still a good shot Kelly, but I prefer the original more and I've just realised why. Its not that this needs to be in B&W, it needs to be in A mono tone, not necessarily black. Because of the misty look you have given it the image looks older than it is, almost like an albumen print or a heliogravure. I think a nice selenium or sepia tint effect would suit this nicely. Alternatively, if you want to be really experimental desaturate the image and then use photo shop to hand tint it in pastel shades in order to get the authentic pre-colour film look. If you paint onto a semi transparent layer (say 35%) over the background layer in full rich colours, you should get the right effect. If you use some unnaturally vivid colours you'll get something reminiscent of a hand tinted dageurotype.
Like I said though, still a nice shot, I especially like to see people who are openly learning about photography and photo manipulation not using every single effect PS has to offer, the misty diffusion is subtle and works.
PS Marc got some of his advice right...put the camera in manual.......Thats all you need to know. Its hard at first but its the only way to learn. The only thing that you should need to have on auto is focus (years of sitting in front of my Mac have left me with far from perfect sight and Canon USM lenses do it sooooo much better and soooo much faster than I ever could!)

I like your composition and gentle grainy effect added soft mood to cementary atmosphere. You have very good approach and with time you can feel more confidence
in your self. Great shot! You are on the right direction. Thank you for your comments and invite me to view your work. Regards, Rafal

I think the photo works better with the original cropping and color. In the color photo I especially like the contrast of the long forgound. A very good photo as originally conceived. Thank you for your comments on my Autumn photo. It was taken in the Chagrin River Valley outside of Cleveland, Ohio.

Nice B&W photo but, IMO, it's a little bit too grainy.
You want my setting on my camera, I use the M mode with 160Iso and P program, 3Mpx fine, details hard, photometry multi, WB auto. And the camera work very well. Just when you have too much mist it's very difficult for the auto focus. Sometime for the macro I take the A priority to have a good deep field.
For your photo, for a better result use "NEATIMAGE" software, you can have the demo version on www.neatimage.com, it's free and very efficient. Good luck

As I see it, the subject here is the light patch behind the central stone. The mist and the bright sky smells of paranormal phenomena to me.
