A good job in chosing the endless gray rows with the position of the two graves with the flowers and flag. Could maybe have been even stronger, to emphase the huge numbers, by cropping out the trees at the back and/or a slightly tilted point of view.

The subject of the shot are the headstones, so the trees at the top are distracting from that goal, crop 'em. With only the headstones now left, my attention is drawn to the grave with the flowers, but it's too far away to actually be the subject. You could either shoot that in the foreground, leaving the non-decorated headstones as background, or just shoot all non-decorated headstones with no emphasis on any of theme. Right now there's nothing special about the closest headstone which might have been your focal point. B&W could also help with the overall mood you're trying to capture. Just my opinion, it's free, so it for what's it's worth. ;)

This has nice leading lines, but I feel they are too centered. Change your angle a little to lead more on a diagonal. This will keep from giving the feeling of dividing the image in half.

I would have liked it better if the trees were cropped out of the picture. The flags draw your eye to them immediately.
