Bruce,
When I initially thought about taking (happy) shots of a child at a cemetry I was a bit like 'hmm, unusual' but despite my initial reaction I think the 1st and 3rd shots are beautiful. I'm sure her Grandad would be smiling from above seeing his little grandaughter placing the bouquet of flowers on his headstone. The WB (looking particularly at skin tones) in the 1st and 4th images, has a green-ish cast as I view them...

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Geoff for your comments. I will check the WB at work tomorrow on my decent monitor at work, they look fine on my laptop but it's a cheepie :)

Sort of but a Cemetary is not just a place of mourning, it can be a place of celebration in celebrating the life of the departed, 3 year olds struggle with that concept.

Inceidentally the gardens here are gorgeous and many a wedding use the grounds for their wedding photographs (I know because myWife used to work there in customer service).
