This was the most amazing little cemetery. All of the headstones were from the early 1800s. Many of them were falling down, and some, such as the one in this picture, stood unmarked. This flower growing from the ground really caught my eye and seemed strange and interesting. I hope it falls within the challenge in the eyes of others.

This doesn't really say cemetery to me. I'm assuming that's a headstone behind the flower(?), but it could just as easily be a wall or something....

I also can't really tell if thats a flower or dead bird...possitioning looks like a flower, but then the petals look featherlike.

This is my second go-around =) - Very nice! Beautiful colored flower! I only wish I could see more of the headstone... without your title I would have had no idea what that was. However, still think it's a great shot =)

I like the framing in this shot also while this is one of many selective desat shots but one of the few that works, I like it and gave it an 8.

I am making two passes on this Challenge. I will vote on your photo then return later(before voting is over) to comment on what I like and dislike about your shot. You can take the comments however you wish and I will try not to be mean. Just don't take it the wrong way.

Nice. The only thing I would change is put the green back in the flower if it was there.
