Greetings from the Critique Club.
First impressions are of the dramatic feel to this shot.
Technically this shot is done well. The lighting is dramatic, the B&W conversion is good.
Artistically I feel this has a strong message but the hat spoils it. Yes I know the Lance Armstrong thing but I still thing the hat appears foreign to the scene - it's not natural. There are some shadows (from other headstones perhaps) that intrude on the scene - I wonder if include the base of them in the background would have added context to the shadows and not left us wondering?
In summary this is a good shot but it's lack of strong relevance to the topic held it back.
Feel free to PM me if you have any queries.
