Farewell My Love

wow… i’m a cemetery junkie, which makes this all the more sweet for me! really awesome shot!

LOL No spitting into the wind silly man = )
Looks like you did a GREAT job in spite of the weather!

Fabulous work. love this!!!!!!

Your wonderful mind is at it again Von…Great shot..I looove cemeteries, I have trillions of images, but none include mannequins….I just knew I was doing something wrong..I think the weather may have been to your advantage with this image, really adds to the overall feel…I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again, you’re a star Von..xxx

Gerat shot Von, I like the mood of this one. You seem to have all the right elements in place for the photograph. A fitting Title.
Great composition as always – Peter

Oh….I know you dream these things up…but what kind of nightmares are you having lately?? Yikes…

Seriously you are coming up with some truly novel ideas and they are really interesting in content and creativity!! You are really traveling down a road less traveled on these!! Great work Von!!

By the way, I think the weather lent a lot to the feeling of this photo!!!

Oh, I hope you don’t want me to lead, I am lousy when it comes to leading. ;) LOL

Gravestones?-Check!
Bride?-Check!
Wind, rain and thunder?-Check!!

That’s it, McKnelly’s out and about again!

Hehe.. worth every minute!! oxo

Awww Von, I’m thinking that is the nicest thing anybody has ever said to me…xxxx
That James is a big girl…

This is GREAT Von! I was going to ask if you got a lot of funny looks but you have answered that already…..sometimes that is the best part :D Even though the weather was crappy I do think it probably worked in your favour. Gloomy mood to this…...super cool :)

Wonderfully eerie! You are feeling a little glum, yes? peace…

lol so how many accidents did you cause with this one? and did anyone call the cops on ya? lol great work V :)

With your latest ‘twisted’ images my dear Von I am thinking you need some TLC, a good massage, and a great bottle of Vino pronto! All kidding aside I love your ‘out of the box’ thinking. One just never knows what you are going to do next :)

You would love where I live. My sister has a big old house that was built in 1863 and sits in a cemetary that has tombstones dating back to the 1700’s. Very very awesome it is. There happened to be a burial today and I thought about taking some photos of them lowering the casket but It creeped out my sister so I decided not to.. I guess I’ll stick to flowers and Mountains..LOL

This is good. peace…

Very melancholy Von…;) Would love to have seen the results of a night shoot lol!

lol i’m sure the cows will be mooing the gossip for quite sometime! yep got car keys just haven’t been home long enough today to redo the shot. hopefully this evening or in the am. Since i don’t think i have anywhere to go tomorrow

HEY!!! Since when do you call me V? lol i thought i was K lol. j.king typing error i assume lol

Fabulous shot, Von….reading the comments above and the explanation makes it all the more ‘interesting’!!! LOL Great stuff.

This is awesome Von! What a sight it must have been watching you set this shoot up! Love the selection of the “Morrow” tombstone, it’s so close to “Sorrow”. Nicely done, despite the elements!

You got what you went for and more my friend!! brillant capture and tones and sky all adding to the mood!!!

Like Wendi, I love all the banter in the comments and replies, Von. The weather adds to the mood for sure. Being a one time fan of horror, and vampire tales, this image evokes memories of tales I used to read in my youth. Great image.

fabulous work;

LOL!!! Another AWESOME IMAGE!!!

spit into the wind in defiance
LMFAO!!!
Well you did prevail and came up with a fantastic moody shot of dracula’s bride doing the rounds…Ya gotta love cemetary shoots…..go back in the full moon and get some more….it’s soooo much fun!!! ;)

You couldn’t ask for a more perfect day to shoot this. ({:o)

Manequins in the Grave Yard,, are you sure you’re not in New Orleans.. Fun shot, stay away from that Missouri lighting when I went to K State we use to get some of those midwest lighting storms and I couldn’t belive the bolts, and winds too.

wonderful mono Von, full of atmosphere.x

I find this quite sad , must be my mood .
I really like the story here , fabulous work. x

I hope everyone know you around there , or they will be thinking you are body snatching . lol

Superb scene Von, I love this, the tones and composition are wonderful.
I agree, the gloom really does make the scene an I enjoyed reading your account of the day not going to plan.

a frustrating day for you ..but work well done .. :)

Marvellous image – love the stark sky and trees’ contribution to the atmosphere. You have an eye for balance that is very pleasing.

Excellent work Von!

The folds of the dress and the gaze out of the frame …
like you ... out of the box.

Oh dear …. the mind boggles!!

Gosh Von, that is so atmosheric…...:o)

or atmospheric….lol My spelling is wonderful….not

great shot

You did! I especially like the headstone that reads “morrow” brilliant! I love to shoot in cemeteries, but never did much conceptual stuff. Making me think.

What a gorgeous work, Von!

You are very good, excellent work:))

Great work.. ;)

Great tones.
Great lighting.
I like the framing.
Well done.
