Credit Where It Is Due
Credit Where It is Due
I like to make photographs, and I enjoy being praised for what I have done. But God teaches a different attitude, one of thankfulness and humility. He pointed that out to me recently. I DO NOT MAKE THESE PHOTOGRAPHS ALONE. I didn't create the light, or the technology which makes photography possible. I didn't buy my camera, it was a gift from my husband. I didn't give myself the ability to see through the camera in order to make an image which others find pleasing. It is right to use what I have been given to the best of my ability, but it is wrong to take credit for what I have not done. God made the light, the elements which are used to manufacture the camera, and the world from which these images come. He has given me gifts: people to teach me, eyes to see with, and a brain to process information. I am thankful for these gifts. He deserves all the praise, not I.

My first thought was the same as Lesley's: sad. I giess puddles like this must be one reason so many cemeteries are on hills. :)
Amazing reflections in the very still water!
Beautiful! Such a story could be written based on this photo!
poignant photo
A great reflection and yes sad. They seem lost and forgotten in their puddle.
Hooooo that's so lovely ! I like cemetaries, cause they are so peaceful, most of the time, but this one, with the reflection of the sky in the water flood, is stunning !
Terrific idea, Dimple !
Superb.
Love the composition! The shot feels so tranquil and solemn!
I this this is absolutely stunning...and the fact that the markers are standing in water...or leaning in water...makes it all the more touching. You composed it beautifully with the colors and the reflections. Awesome shot.
Oh what happened to them? But, the reflection is serene and quiet. Great shot. Have a nice day.
what an amazing shot!
If I saw this on Mount Moriah, I would know we are all in BIG trouble................
Excellent photo, rather freaky!!!
Kind of sad but its a great shot. Who would ever think their grave would wind up under water.
this is a great shot.
So much water on the graveyard...but a beautiful photo though.
Stunning, peaceful images. But I'm curious, was the water due to snow melt or flooding?
That makes such a beautiful image, with the old tombstones reflected in the water! I hope the cemetery was not damaged by the flooding!
powerful and beautiful image!
This is really a great find.
