my favorite thing about this image is that you've cropped off the edges of the tombstone so it completely takes over the background. It becomes an embossed sky of stone. I might try enhancing this effect by not centering the cross, but that might screw up the composition.

comments: I'm trying to figure out if I'm being to picky on how shallow a DOF should be cause this is about the 3rd out of 7 I've voted on that don't really seem to be fitting the bill. While looking at past challenges I feel that shallow should be where only a very small portion is in focus (1-2"). I have to say that I wish you were closer to the flowers so that we could tell how shallow the field is. Still a wonderful image with great colors and layout and even a border that works well with it...good luck.
I like the way the flowers curve around the shape of the cross in the background and the contrast between the pink and the white makes a really striking image.
