Vertigo film study

I made a minor change to this shot from the film. In the film the background did not have a shot of the cathedral, which I always felt that this shot could use. So I actually went to the cemetery last year to take some photos. There are significant changes to the current cemetery, and the stone grotto that's in the film no longer exists. So I married a bit from the original shot and added a few ideas from my own photo. I had to change the sun direction as well.
