Thanks for the comments all. Very much enjoyed and appreciated.
Yes, yes, when I saw the 'Ground Up' challenge after posting this pic, I thought "Crap! I know what most of the comments are going to say!'
Some public responses to a few of the comments (not that anyone really gives a hoot)...
I did not think the grass would annoy people as much as it did. The intent there was, as Terrentius nailed it, to give the perpective of looking up at one's own headstone. The Grass also provided a way of obscuring some of the text, which I believed added an element of mystery (good call Gordon) and also helped to frame the date which, as reflected in the title, is the reference to the transition theme - the year this person passed away, transitioning into another state.
Ahh well, maybe I thought about it too much...
As for the 'cutout' sky, this picture was taken on a typically overcast and grey Washington day. That caused the sky to be pretty washed out to begin with. After desaturating, I adjusted the white point so that the sky was a clean white.
Thanks again!

| focus across the depth of field is very good. Still great detail on the top of the tombstone. |

| I'd like this even better as an antry for the next challenge ("ground up"). |

| shame you couldn't resubmit this one next week. |

| My only concern with this is that it has been cut out but it could be because of a cloudy white sky. Anyway, I really like the pic, it would work for the current "from the ground up" challenge too. |

| It's a great photo but it is an after state and not a transition from one state to another. |

| how you were able to get that depth of field, I will never know. Fabulous shot! |

| I think this would have been better without the grass in the front. I would have liked to have seen the actual words on the stone |

| I really like this angle. This would be a great shot for "the ground up" challenge. I'm upgrading this to a 10. |

| good composition, focus, etc. and could have been an entry in Ground Up. |

I like this photo.
Could you tell me is it featuring rebirth?
It looks like the point of view of a "Corpse"
climbing up from his grave. |

| You did a good job focusing on the challenge... so many changes in this photo. |

| Incredible angle. I like how the washed ou sky contrasts the gray hues of the rest of the shot. |

| I like what you've done with the blades of grass, though at the same time they're a bit distracting. Maybe focusing on the grass and not the tombstone would've made more of an impact -- but then you'd lose your transition...hmm. |

| did you realize there is grass in the photo...but seriously it hurts more that helps i think because the grass becomes the focal point, and the grass is blurry, and it is blocking the stone |

| Great shot. Love the perspective. |

| This might have been a good one for the new challenge ... |

| The stone is composed very nicely. I don't like the grass though. Are you going for a "raised from the dead" look? The grass is more of a distraction then a help. |

| I believe this is a good representation of a life transition. I also think you did a wonderful job with the photo. |

| nice shot. did you know something about next week's challenge? |

| good angle and I like the b/w. |

| whats the transition? death? |
|

| good attempt at an unusual angle - you could re enter it for the 'ground up' challenge :) Grass is a bit too heavy I think though, would have been a good frame but obscures too much in my opinion, though it does add mystery by hiding the names. |

| Seems like this meets the next week's challenge better than it does this week's... |

| This might be better for "From the Ground Up" challenge. :) I love this picture, though. |

| good shot - would suit next challenge |

The grass ruined this shot, but take it again and submit it for the next challenge though
