I've got a dilemma (pics of graves)

What do you think, the other day, I took some pics of some old neglected graves, and I've been trying to do them justice in Gimp, my problem is do they look better in b & w, sepia or left in colour, being graves I don't want to mess around with them too much, but just make them look decent (for me) pics, any thoughts guys Thank You

Can't see them ?

Oops , guess that might help

Three options of the same pics

1


2


3

Of those 3 I quite like the sepia one - best suited to the conditions i'd say.

It looks like an overcast day so perhaps not a great deal of contrast which the b&w one might have benefited from.

You could always do a bit of pp on it though.

Sepia one looks best out of the 3 nice shots

Thanks guys , I started off thinking the sepia were best, then talked myself out of it I'll get the rest put up in a bit

It's a low res copy and done very crudely but I've dodged the trees in the background to lighten them up before darkening & increasing the contrast to the whole image.

Looking at it here though - there's not much difference LOL apart from the foreground.

Wow, that makes a huge differece Phil , still I don't think I can do that in Gimp, but never mind, I'll still post the rest in sepia
