This weekend I went to Normandy where I visited a few historical sites. One of them was a WW-I cemetery with a huge cross on top of it. It was impressive and shocking as well to see how many men lost their lives during attacks of a small piece of land. Now in death both defenders and attackers all lie peacefully next to each other.

Compositionally, I think this could be stronger: the line on the left does well to lead to the subject, but the line on the right does not add any strength to the image. Different framing and maybe some darkening of the sky (for impact) might make this more powerful.
This is a beautiful photograph...and aptly titled. It just screams to be centered and shot straight on though, with the walkways centered on either side of the photograph and the cross dead center. 9
