the exposure is good, from this angle it is hard to read and the grass in the background is distracting, if possible perhaps more of an overhead shot might have worked to focus more on the inscription.
I like the lighting in this with the dappled sunlight. The little piece of grass top right will probably draw a few comments. Personally I like seeing it there as it adds a sense of context to the photo. Subject-wise there's not a lot of "pop" to this so the score may be held down a little. All JMO of course. Good luck in the the challenge.
