Very nice! I really like the cool tones of this image. It looks really crowded in there, looks like you found a really good spot for this photo.

Very interesting light, by far not as dull and sad as our cemeteries. Thanks for the info about color adjustment.

Good job with that old troublesome white on white. Yvonne

Nice composition, there must be many choices.

Thanks all.

Mary Ann, I did desaturate the blue and cyan to -8. The rest I added +8. theFly

Very, very crisp and unforgiving lighting, like city of the dead should be

I like the shot like it is, but might have fit the theme better had you over-exposed the sky. - Tom

Did you use some desat here? I don't remember the light in New Orleans being this white in August. Interesting shot with all those sun-bleached tombs.

I like the colors, or lack of them, in this and the angle of the shot, using the tombs to frame the image. ~Sharon
