I loved this image, and still love it! The tone fits perfectly and wonderfully sets the mood. Great choice of the angle: we're faced with a tombstone, but not directly, so as not to force itself on us. The same is with Death: it's there and you can't avoid it, but it doesn't force itself on us, so make the most of life. I try to read what's written, but with some difficulties, while the jewel of the photo, the sentence "In the midst of life we are in death" is clear. So, what's the point of reading further and finding out who lies there? The other grave in the back makes sure that one get's it.
But still, there are trees above everything, so hail to life. I guess...
