I like the trees, they have an ominous feel, like beings ushering the souls to the underworld, or protectors?

Nice idea and a good subject for b+w. Would like to see those lines leading to something; perhaps a solitary tree at the end of the row. 8

Great Composition. The sparse distribution of the trees amongst the graves creates a very emotional scene. I like this a lot.

Great photograph. Wonderful yet stark balance. I think the only thing that I could suggest to add would, perhaps, be a lone figure --a widow?-- kneeling in front of one of the gravestones in the distance, perhaps near the end of the leading lines. This would make it a very powerful human image.

Nice symmetry. Overall this ohoto while nice doesn't do much for me. I think I would like it better if the POV was a little lower

I am not sure whether there is an unambigious definition of leading lines, but in my book, they should be a line or several lines that lead the viewer's eye towards the main subject of the picture. I think that's not the case in this picture. Your pic uses a vanishing point rather than leading lines.

strong image, but maybe a lower angle would have more impact.

I hate to say it on such a good photo, but leading lines should lead to a subject.
