Too many graveyards in the challenge. A more interesting sky would have improved the shot.

Nice capture. It would be great if there's more contrast in this photo. More cropping would make the photo tighter too. Good job.

Focus seems a little soft on the statue.

B&W shots really suffer when the contrast is low. I would suggest making sure the dark end of your shot is anchored in pure black shadows, the highlights just barely touch pure white, and your subject is nicely lit. A great B&W shot then has a rich range of tones in between, but that's hard to achieve as it depends a lot on lighting and composition. Also, a completely blown sky that dominates the photo and leads the eye out will hurt.

Looks very like an Angel statue in Chester?

Good choice of subject, but I think the wall is distracting, and it would have been nice to see more of the graveyard.

I like it, but i would have cut out that second pillar thats on the far right; it takes your focus away from the center (assumed focal point)

A bit too centered and soft for my own preference. I think there is lots of great contrasty detail here, however.
