This original photo was taken during the day on the outside of Oakwood Cemetery, Syracuse N.Y. I thought it could use some midnight transformations.. Various layers were placed to create color tones and lighting effects to give this an old gothic feel. I will upload the original greyscale photo at a later time. Thanks for stopping in.

Viewed full size one can see the excellent job you did with the gradient of color from the very dark to the lighter blue in the background. This takes more than a few seconds to absorb even full sized, so I would caution my fellow viewers to take some time to look at this superior manip!!

Wow! It kind of has a spooky and cautious look to it. And yet there seems to be so much going on. Excellent manip indeed! =)

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

I love this photo (I love trains too, but that's beside the point). I think a second photo would look great with the warm light of an oncoming steam engine down the tracks!

I like this one, Jay. I would love to see a ghost at the end of the track. Great shot.
