 I found this grave in the local Jewish cemetery. It struck me a rather (post)-humourous (given the name).

The green leaves of a pin oak provided me with the foreground, backlit by the late afternoon sun, for extra vibrance.

Slight rotation, crop, slight saturation boost, border.

i like the way the foreground created the transparency of the subject, but for me, there's a little too much foreground and not enough totally defined subject.

Quite intriguing to have the name Lazarus with what appears to be new leaf growth in the foreground.
