Another Entry to the Friends of the Sleeping Giant Photo Contest

Back in the summer, I went to Sleeping Giant Provincial Park to see Joe Creek Falls, the picture I submitted to their photo contest last year which won third place in scenery. While there, I went with my parents to Middlebrun Bay, then we stopped at the Silver Islet Cemetary. We found two graves side by side with my parents' first initials scratched into them. My mom thought it would be great to pose by them. I took her picture first.
Going to the Graveyard
Then I got my dad to pose. He came up with the idea to put coins in his eyes. What resulted was an extremely creepy picture:
Still Life
I decided then that I wanted to submit this pic to the photo contest this year. I finally remembered to ask my dad to help me edit it (I post almost everything straight out of my camera and only edit things in rare circumstances using picnik. My dad's the expert on photo-editing in our house, as he's the one with the programs for it). The picture is now cropped, a bit darker, and renamed (I don't remember why I originally called it "Still Life," but I renamed it "Pay the Ferryman" for the contest).
I honestly have no idea what the judges will think of it! It's a pretty unique shot, most likely different from most of their other entries. But it's extremely creepy! So wish me luck! I won't know anything until the spring or summer of 2011.
