Can't really see much of the detail where it is in focus. Might have been more beneficial to have put focus on the Fleur-de-lis closer in the frame? Maybe the 2nd one in? Did you take multiple shots from this spot with different focal points? One thing I've done in the past and know many people do is to 1-use a tripod but 2 - try out 3 or so focal points or aperture settings and then later compare and or combine them for the finished product.

I think you need to shoot more straight on so that at least one of the memorial pieces is in the frame and in focus, because right now it looks like a rusty fence with some random concrete structures behind it.

I think the focal point should have been closer to you. Too much distracting OOF elements in the foreground.

Thanks all.
(I thought including the tombs in the background would add to the shot. I guess not.)
This any better? At all?

read my comment again, I said get the tombs more into the shot so people know what they are.

Although you may have misread the comment, this image is better than the first one.

it highlights the fence more but does nothing to show where it is or it's significance.
