a bit too contrived with the flower. Remarkably well preserved stone...

Nice shot, I'd prefer the off centeredness to be towards the right though. Then the stem of the rose would be centered and lead you up to the gravestone.

Strong image. I also like that the subject is off center slightly. Nice job.

Love b&w's of cemetaries. The perfect subject for the challenge. The flower stem in the forground is somewhat distracting to me. With that excepting I really like the composition of this photograph.

Nicely done - good contrast, nice deep DOF to show some detail in the bg headstones. Personally, though, the flower looks very odd to me placed that way and with such a long stem. Don't know if you need it.

I really like this photo quite a bit... I think the flower takes something away from the overall composition though... good work!

Depth of field is too deep.

Although the flower directs the viewer's attention up, I honestly think it may have been better without it. Or--don't crop the bottom of the stem off.

Good composition. Stem is too long going no where, but this is a fine job. I like it very much. Congrats.

Nice framing, nice focus and nice DOF. I particularly appreciate the fact that you took the photo from close to the ground. I'm not sure if the flower adds or detracts from the image, but it is very good regardless
