DP Theme Day: Cemetery / Tombstones

This month City Daily Photo theme day is Cemetery/Tombstones. Stayton has two cemeteries side-by-side, the Lone Oak Cemetery and the St. Mary's Catholic Cemetery.
The photo above is of a cross on the top of one of the upright tombstones. The sun happened to be shining through the clouds right behind the cross, so I set my camera to make the cross in shadow to show more of the light.
For those who are into this sort of thing, the effect was done in-camera (f/22, 1/500 sec, ISO 100), with only minor color and contrast changes done in processing.
