I like your framing of the tombstone with the pine boughs. The choice of decolorizing is very interesting and gives more weight to the lines and shapes. The figure isn't terribly compelling to me and feels a little too posed.

without getting into a philosophical discussion, is life really the opposite of the death? anyway, I didn't lower your score because of that.

I like the pine bough in the foreground. I think you've also used DOF well to keep enough of the subject in focus, yet soften it for emphasis of mood. You obviously put some time into this image - nice work!

You gotta have nerve to take such a candid, let alone to fake it, but it surely is life and death

Odd composition. I quite like it in a quirky way...well done.

NIce composition. I really like the focus on the foreground. Good representation of life and death. I just don't think the sepia works here. Maybe B&W would work better if you need to go monochromatic. 6

good idea but I feel that the wrong subject is in focus. The girl and the tomb should have been in focus

Nice composition and your exposure was great but it would have been stronger in black and white.

Life an death is a big opposite.. I would prefer that the woman was in focus instead.
