The lack of order and the haphazard feel created by the many different vertical slants decrease the somberness. Looks like live crosses moving into the forest.

They do look cheerful as if peace was made forever at the clearing of the somber forest.

Great idea...Don't like the "6387" sign in there, and the smudge in the bottom center. Very grainy background.
