This is a nicely timed shot and very likely holds some emotional impact to you. From a technical standpoint, it seems to be oversharpened, to the point where the writing becomes a bit difficult to read (although it does help boost contrast and bring out the texture of the stone).
I like the composition of the girl and the flag, and the flag pole draws the eye nicely into the bee trail, which then draws the eye toward the name on the large plaque/tombstone. I can't quite tell if it's maybe just a shadow, but the selective desaturation looks messy in the bottom stripe of the flag.
The use of selective desat here is perfect to help set the mood, the other thing I really like is the sun on the flag and the little girls hair. Very emotive shot. 8
