Very nice image! The flowers do seem to be the focal point as the headstones on the right are OOF. Perhaps the focus is a tad off since the forefront headstone seems to have more detail than the bouqet. Agree with Jano that a crop off the right would help with the red focal point. -Techo

Perhaps a crop on the right, just to the right of the first headstone in the forefront/background would lead the eye more toward the flowers? - and it would give an impression that there are many headstones vs the blank space on the right. With that said, however, the contrast of the red vs. the natural b&w you have here is outstanding! jano

Very poignant image. It looks as if the focal point is on the edge of the large gravestone though, and I think it would be a stronger image if the red flowers were in better focus and the gravestones a little OOF. I really like the composition and the B&W look to the scene. :-) CJ

I see your point Rod.

I agree Aaammm, but for this challenge the red has to be the focal point. I really like the picy as is otherwise. Red will always attract the eye so maybe it is on topic.

I like how the flowers are not dominant. Really like the composition too.

Nicely shot Jock, I would like to see the flowers more defined to make them more the focal point.
