I took some at the baby's and children's area in this cemetary. They were darker ... too dark and upsetting. I couldn't bring myself to enter one of those.

Nicely composed, seen and executed. I like the range of tones, the position of the white stone and the darkness at the top of the picture. The only niggle is the out of focus stones at the front of the picture, my personal preference would be to see them at the back or to have everything in focus. But that's just me ;) 8
Awesome image! I like the abstract feel to this. Very on-subject as well. The only thing that bothers me (and this is totally subjective) is the dark at the top. I might try to cut that in half or more, maybe even altogether. Might not work, but it's easy to try.
The one higlighted stone in the back off-centre puts the photo out of the darkness challenge for me. Personally I would have used that hint of light to enter this photo for a challenge like "light" or even "hope". But I think it was a clever idea.
