You composed the shot perfectly with the light seeping through the windows illuminating what's left of this spectacular old place.
I love the way the boards are showing through the wall in the back, and the wonderful old board floors as well.
Finally, the graves out the back door just make the shot complete.
What a great job you did here, and how envious I am of this incredible discovery. ( though I am also very happy for you, as I know you were just as excited to find it as I would have been!)
You captured the very essence of the place and managed to portray such a 'mood' as well.
An excellent shot.
Very best regards,
Mary Alice
By the way, what on earth are you doing in Alabama?
Thank you, Keith. It was a poignant place--even more than I expected when I asked my husband to please turn the car around and go back to that church and cemetery. I try not to do that too often, but this time I was so glad I did.
And Mary Alice, I'm so glad you like this as I hoped you would. I was certainly thinking of you as I explored and looked for camera angles. I'm glad you think I found a good angle, too. (The floor in that back corner had rotted away, but otherwise it seemed a safe enough place to be.)
And what was I doing in Alabama? With all due respect to Atlanta, we like to get out of the city for the weekend when we're spending two weeks at my research, and northern Alabama was an easy drive away.
I'm also working on my "states." Alabama was one of only five states I'd never been in sometime during my life. Now there are just four!
A beautiful photo, Marilyn, both thoughtful and mournful. It's a wonderful blend of light and geometry, with just enough texture in the darks to give a sense of warmth.

And the sunlight on the floor pointing towards the memorials. A beautiful and poignant composition, Marilyn.

I'm so glad you found this one, Ryan, and even happier that you think I succeeded in capturing what intrigued me about the unusual scene.
