I was at the cemetery for around 2 hours and had explored all the areas
before I picked 3 spots that seemed promising. The image posted was among
the last taken. On review of all the images I saw many scenes that I didn't
fully explore but I'm quite happy with the one posted.

With that particular image I was simply trying to get both the markers and

A sad scene Dan. Jersey diners are a great heritage for New Jersey and its

for them on my trips.
A great book on Jersey diners is 'Jersey Diners'

It could benefit from better light but the facility doesn't open to the

I like it, Bulent, particularly the use of DOF--and having a flower pic that
works in monochrome!
Thank you Rick :)
I do like monochromes of flowers.
One reason might well be my lack of appreciation of the subtleties of colors...
Bulent
Very nice capture what ever it is.
Thank you, Ken.
I have no idea about the identity of the plant.
All I know is that it had been transplanted from a forest into one
of our pots by my wife.
It looks happy after about a year! Never seen a flower (all leaves) yet.
Bulent
Very good DOF! Wouldn't think of using BW for flowers but it works here.
Thank you Attila.
Perhaps you should give BW a chance :)
Here are some more personal examples:
