This is some old graves near my house. Down here in the South, people have to be buried above ground because of the water table. There are a ton of these in New Orleans (which I plan to shoot one day)

Interesting. I much prefer the B&W in that harsh light.

100% agree Iggy.

The thing I like most about the crypts is the broken concrete, exposing the brick underneath, and that does not show too well in the B/W.

I think if the shadows weren't so dark it would really bring out that detail you like, both in the color and bw. :) New Orleans would be a great place to shoot!

I can go either way. I think if you went during the 'golden hour', the lighting may be quite interesting and warm. Not sure, Marko and MA would know way more about that, just an idea.

Seeing more detail in the shadows on the third one does more for me than the other two. :)

My preference is the third one. Like Kat like the extra details in the shadows.

I agree, shot 3 now becomes my pick here.
