Info Although it may seem incredible, the image is not in black and white. The surrounding fog and mist, characteristic of the winter weather this year, give this cemetery in Quebec an eerily cinematic feel, as if it were straight out of a horror movie. The bleak, monochromatic scene is made all the more haunting by the knowledge that it is a place of rest for the dead. Yet despite the eerie atmosphere, there is a sense of peace and solitude that pervades the cemetery, a reminder that even in death, we are not alone.All by -- Wilfredor (talk) 22:34, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support I love the atmosphere of this photo: on the one hand it is somewhat gloomy, on the other hand peaceful, just as you say. Just one hint: Some of the inscriptions on the gravestones seem sharper than the gravestones themselves; this is a bit irritating. If you have applied any additional sharpening to the inscriptions, I would reduce/remove it, IHMO the inscriptions should be just as sharp/unsharp as the stones. --Aristeas (talk) 17:26, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the suggestion about adjusting the noise reduction on the image. Sometimes it's difficult for me to know when it's too much or too little, so please feel free to modify the image as you see fit and upload a new version if you think it's necessary. I appreciate your help and expertise on this matter. You will find the raw here --Wilfredor (talk) 20:54, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support This image also unfolds its entire effect in full screen mode. When I look at it, I feel deep melancholy. -- Radomianin (talk) 13:40, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support The atmosphere is well struck.--Famberhorst (talk) 16:39, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Like the bleak, haunted feeling but found my attention being drawn to the trees at the edges. IMO it needs a stronger graphic pull to the middle to stand as an FP. Perhaps a tighter crop all around would work. --GRDN711 (talk) 19:56, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
