Great looking sky, and good POV with the leaning stone. Title didn't hurt, but it didn't help either. This would have stood on its own without the challenge reference.

Very nice picture! It looks better the longer you look at it. I was about to vote a mediocre score but something drew me back to it. Excellent scenery and composition!

From the thumbnail I did think this would be a rather mundane image but your unusual viewpoint has certainly added interest - there is a strong feeling of scale. There is also a wonderful feeling of longevity conveyed by the texture on the foreground tombstone. The clear blue sky makes a great backdrop to the solid earthy stone.

Not much wrong with it composition wise, but a view closer to the ground, a bit more contrast and B/W might have been better/more dramatic?

nicely composed and the pov helps keep me interested in the elements of your composition. The border detracts here (perhaps simple black and/or more narrow?) I like the stones in the shadows on the right - they balance the lit church somehow.

One of the better graveyard shots. Everyone must have gotten some snow last week. Definitely conveys silence.

I like it. The only problems I have are the trees, particularly the one on the left, which are distracting. Otherwise, good angle, it gives the shot an almost sacred, reverent feel. And I love the way the snow is just melting. Is that a footprint on the bottom right?

I didn't think that another graveyard image could seem powerful but this one does...very nicely done crispness of texture and light
