This is one of those shots that I thought needed the old black and white treatment. As you can see, it's a set of four tombstones at the Driftwood Cemetery in Driftwood, Texas that are starting to succumb to the weeds and ivy. That's all I know about it. I'd love to know the story behind the ones buried there, but that will probably never come to pass. All I know is that when I finished processing this shot, it seemed to lack something. When I hit the bw conversion filter in Nik Color Efex, that seemed to do the trick. I think it adds a creepiness factor and makes it a little more timeless and interesting. I also added a little vignette to draw the eyes in. Not sure if it works or not. What do you think?

If you haven't seen my blog before and would like to know how I process, please check out my work-flow.
