I couldn’t resist stopping here on my way home from helping some friends the other day… The bright colour among the tombstones seemed to call out that physical death is not the end of life. Any thoughts on which crop is better?

Overall I think the horizontal crop is more appealing. I realize you were trying to isolate the colorful flowers to make them more predominant with the tighter crop, but I think in order for that to be effective you would need to have just the flowers and maybe one predominant tombstone in focus and the other smaller tombstones blurred in the background. Finding an uncluttered composition in a cemetery would be a real challenge I’m sure! To me the wider crop at least gives the appearance of being more of a landscape shot with a cemetery as the foreground subject as opposed to the tighter crop which appears to be a cluttered snapshot of some tombstones.
Hows this for a crop?
And a little brightening too. This emphasizes the “bright flowers in a graveyard” that I hear you looking for.
It eliminates the blank, featureless sky and removes the white distracting-because-its-bright field on the background hillside. It eliminates the telephone wires too. 🙂 There’s more purpose to each element in the photo. Lots to mention with this photo. Maybe I’ll bring it up in the next PRO Critique!
Great location. Great subject. Great story, or meaning, to give the picture purpose.
