Thanks Matt for the suggestion. I originally thought to convert the RAW file to B&W, but when I saw the result I found myself missing all that nice green on the tombstones. I know there are other effects I would like to try and experiment with, but I'm still very jetlagged from the trip that made this image possible for me and don't trust I could pull it off well in the time I have left before voting :-)

Let me suggest a B&W conversion. And maybe burning and blurring the background... Just a thought. All this to declutter a bit the photo and be able to see clearly the row of tumbstones... Matt.

Well, that was fast, LOL! It's a subtle change, but I do think it adds substantial depth and mood. -Michael
Thanks much for the feedback and suggestion for making it moodier Michael. I did as you suggested and like it better now myself.

Very nicely atmospheric. The greens are elegant and pervade every part of the image giving the whole scene a strong patina of age. I do think this image could use a bit of post processing to create an even moodier feel. Something as simple as burning the four corners gives it greater depth, IMHO. Nice strong diagonal composition with the headstones. -Michael
