Thank you all for the comments. Many of you said too dark. I chose the slightly underexposed pic too add to the silence.

The contrast here is very limited, it´s a bit underexposed.

Excellent composure and detail, the color on this really brings out the most in this image

The little stake next to the big tablet stands out too much for me. This seems like a neglected graveyard which obviously adds to the silence.

The bright sign just to the left of the grave marker detracts.

Why is there a mound on this grave? I makes me think something is not exactly still within. Gloomy shot, love the red.
