Parisian tombstones

Parisian cemeteries are pretty fascinating places for me. (Yes, the fake flowers were really that color.)

For sure - cemetaries, in general, are fascinating places! These are nice images. I think I would've preferred #s 1 & 3 straight on to isolate the subjects more. The color of the flowers are hauntingly lovely in that desaturated environment! I love looking at #2, it's a perfect composition!

Thanks! Well, I go to Paris every winter. Maybe I'll go back and retake those two photos... if I can find them again. They're somewhere in the Montmartre Cemetery.

Cemetaries are such interesting places with hidden treasures around every corner. I've never had much luck myself finding killer compositions so definitely appreciate your attempt.

Like Jenny I am drawn to the abstract nature of #2 - good eye to spot that. I am wondering if it could use a little adjustment to make it pop somewhat and make it even more abstract - a quick edit is attached as I explored somewhat (would probably tone down the colors in the stone if mine).

Old European cemeteries seem to have more interesting stuff happening.

I took the photo on a pretty heavy overcast day. If it was a lighter but still overcast day, it'd look like yours!
