OK, a little explanation. My "extreme" was to think of one of the worst things that could happen to a person. And that would be for it to be as if you never existed - to be totally forgotten.
I intentionally went for grainy (upped the film speed even though it was a dark spot on a rainy day), which apparently translated to "blurry" for some. I wasn't too happy that the tombstone was so blown out, but I thought it emphasized the "forgotten-ness" so didn't work too hard on fixing it.
Composition is fine, and the leaves surrounding the marker really give the sense of a person forgotten. The light in the shot is a bit bright for my tastes--perhaps overexposed? I think that this kind of photo, especially to make the viewer think "forgotten" could use a little bit darker feel to it.
