I quite like this, but I think it would have helped to give your main subject a touch more "breathing space" on the left. One step back and one to the left might have done achieved that. I like your choice of DOF.
Thanks, the presence of another gravestone to the left would have spoiled the emphasis on the main stone I felt, thanks you would be correct but for this.

I thank everyone for the kind comments.
My 2nd challenge shot using raw format,a little experiment using the white balance set on tungsten, just gave it the mood,as Gordon has said.
This is my second go-around =) - I really like your subject and composition. For some reason, i think your photo looks too grey (you may have intended this). I just feel that there should be a little more contrast and some highlights so it doesn't look as flat. But I really like your idea and I really like the location you used =)
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.

Good composition. Nice focus on the front tombstone. I like it how it is.
