POTW before and after

Jeannine Smith

It is a slightly different perspective, chosen primarily out of "guess-timate" as 1. I didn't have a copy of the original on hand as a guide 2. precise incentive wasn't there as I'd no knowledge we would be showing "re-dos". I simply considered other's comments as I returned to this site. The primary thought was to include the additional real estate in front of the gravestone as this was the most common critique spoken. In editing I did add to the highlights, opened the shadows a bit  as well as lightened the exposure - a smidge ( I do prefer to nudge toward "the darkside"). 

For me, pros and cons to each. So, with curiosity, I welcome your thoughts. 
PS Maryann and Dave, now knowing some story behind the stones atop I took several other close up photos with the intent of "telling a story" . Thank you both for the inspiration!
