Samuel, Alone and Blue

Another of local interest as it was captured in the Cove Hill/Lanesville Cemetery, Gloucester, Massachusetts. For me, the interest lay in the layered lighting. It's actually a great little cemetery hidden at the backend of a short road behind houses along the Atlantic Ocean.

Lighting is everything in the trade, and this one works for me. It can be a subtle late day mask, or a bright mid-day spike of brilliance. Either way, opportunities abound if you're ready.
I simply added a bit of contrast & saturation to this one.

I worked this stone from just about every angle. It was just perfectly placed, and I wanted to take advantage of my good fortune. My humble suggestion, take advantage of all your good fortune when you're keen enough to recognize it. Work the light; work the angle, and work that inner eye and emotion. Don't rush the process. If it isn't the right time then it isn't the right time. This was my third trip back. I had to take into account the time of year and, in turn, the placement of the sun. Yes, that's right, and that's what it takes to compose a perfect work.
