My first submission! I actually got lost today on the way to the coffee shop, and ran across this cemetary, thinking "This is so beautiful, I have to come back and photograph it sometime."
I randomly checked dpchallenge while drinking coffee, and saw this weeks challenge! Rushed back and took a few photos. Here's the result.

Thanks for all the helpful comments guys and gals. After looking back at my shot after I submitted it, I realized I definitely needed to tone down the house quite a bit more, as it looked out of place.
The angled shot was to give the impression of the view from someone laying sideways on the ground, a body for example, or like Connie mentioned, someone creeping into the cemetary late at night.
I like the tones in the 'front' of the shot, but the pink in the back seems really out of place. I'm also not a fan of this kind of slanted composition but to each their own. I would enjoy this alot more had it not been so (for lack of a better word) crooked, and perhaps done with a midnight blue and black duo-tone.
I am making two passes on this Challenge. I will vote on your photo then return later(before voting is over) to comment on what I like and dislike about your shot. You can take the comments however you wish and I will try not to be mean. Just don't take it the wrong way.

A crooked shot can work. I don't think it works here though. And the border is lost in the tree on the right.
