Taken with my new Sony DSC-T1 point and shoot. The image quality in the originals after being used to my 300D is pretty bad, but it's such a small camera that I can be discreet and not feel like everyone is watching me... it's great! I wouldn't have felt comportable taking my bulky DSLR into a graveyard and photographing peoples graves.

"I wouldn't have felt comportable taking my bulky DSLR into a graveyard and photographing peoples graves."
Why not, I do it all the time! At least the deceased can't ask you "why?"
Great shot, Ben.
I dunno really, just with other people there it might seem a bit disrespectful? It's only a small graveyard, not one of the huuuuge ones around in the US.
It took a few moments for me to notice the crosses in the background being framed. Your image appears to be a lovely macro of the stone in the immediate foreground. Perhaps if the background was more brightly lit and the foreground was darker/in the shadows, more attention would be brought to the "framing." The OOF background and in focus foreground don't help to accentuate the concept of "framing" either, but rather puts more focus on the "frame" itself.
Fantastic! I find all the cemetary shots in this challenge very good but this is my favorite of the bunch. Great focus and textures and choice of tone. 10
