hey Chris... although I couldn't vote on it, I think it turned out great. Definitely should've placed higher (although still great for a Free Study) :O)

I like how you used selective desat to isolate your subject. I know that taking photos in cemetaries can look kind of busy sometimes because there are so many objects there. This looks clean and simple.

nicely done, very respectfull. I think if the other flags has been b/w it would have more of an impact
