Not A Weed, A Begonia Bloom

I've been experimenting with different backgrounds adding them as a layer then going back in with my history brush to bring out the focal points. Let me know what you think, thanks.

This cemetery has graves dating back to the 1600s and is part of historical Abington Episcopal Church.

These tombs, taken in IR with post processing sepia filter, were originally part of the Rosewell estate.
