Cryptique Angels

I admit, I have no idea what's going on here. Found these in the window of a crypt. They may be looking out onto a more recent grave instead of guarding the this rather old crypt. Still a weird thing to come by in a cemetery, if by being in a cemetery isn't weird enough.
I love the colors of Fuji Velvia 50 slide film, but it's very hard to pull scans from positive film. I've found that if I slightly underexpose and shoot on medium format (120), then my Epson V500 scanner has little trouble. 35mm slides just don't scan well for me, which is a shame because I have hundreds of slides. Unfortunately, slide film is becoming a thing of the past, so I'm trying to shoot it while I still can.
