I was trying for the viewpoint as if you were in the ground/buried. Guess I didn't achieve it very well. Anyway just viewed this from my system at work and it is much darker than on my system at home. Time to check my calibration again, maybe one of my kids messed with it.
Without the title, I would never of guess that was a headstone. TO be honest, if you had omitted the headstone and just had that gorgeous autumnal canopy instead this would of score a lot higher. 5
The tree on the right forms a lovely pattern with it's silhouetted trunk and branches. I do not know what your purpose of keeping that block on top inside the frame is, but personally i dont like it much and would have preferred a picture with just the sky and the foliage
Is that a head stone in the top of the photo? I would have had no idea without the title to help. I think the main focus here is the tree anyway, try cropping that out and I think this would be better. I really like the colors of the leaves, nicely done.
