This is a gentle, lovely shot, John. It somehow manages to bring tears to my eyes, and I have no idea whose grave this is. I love the little grasses pointing up, the resting broken cross, the grain, the diagonal of the cross being different than that of the base, the shallow DOF. Excellent work, John.
I am quite taken by the graininess of this understated image; it seems just right to me. The composition, too, is clearly very precisely thought out. The framing, also, is exceptionally nice. it all works very well together. I particularly liek how the tight cropping to the top of the stone emphasizes how the cross has been broken off from there.
Well done image and very emotive. My only nit-pick on this one is that the crop is a bit too tight and centered for me. I would like to see the image breath more - but just my personal opinion or view.
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.

Real noisy but maybe that is what you were going for.
I like this picture, I think that black and white rendition plus a bit of grain add to the ipact and make it clearly stand out. Hope it will finish well. (10)
