Park Cemetery, Calcutta

Park Cemetery was in use between approximately 1790 to 1820 for british and other european not in fortune to survive tropical circumstance under poor medical and hygiene knowledge at that time. Now it is situated in the middle of extremly vivid Calcutta and a kind of strange oasis. Restauration is under taken since serval years with support of relatives and others involved in the cultural heritage of former colonial city of Calcutta.

Andreas -

 

I very much like the story and composition, but there is something strange about the processing that seems overdone.

I love this moment and composition. Given the story, this image may benefit from B&W conversion, with strong contrast and drama--IMHO.

Stuart,

maybe I did a bit over processing at the end, too much contrast and saturation. I see what you mean, thank you for your advice.

 

I did a B&W conversion to see how that works and attached the picture for your interest, vdb (sorry for not mention your real name). Thank you for your comment.

 

Regards,

Andreas

The black and white works very well! It really serves the subject.

I like it, maybe a bit contrasty but gives it the edge it deserves. regards, Virgil
