You get credit for making a stationary object almost look like it is moving. Nice composition. :)

Grave side bouquet

Unsure that the soft focused gravstones make much of a difference. Cemeteries generally invoke strong feelings and most of the high rated images in the challenge were on the melancholy side. By comparison yours is colorful and almost happy and that probably hurt your score.

The perspective is not that interesting and looks like you just stopped to take the shot looking downward. A different angle might have worked better.

If you don't come home from taking outdoor pictures with contorted soreness in your body then you probably took most pictures from a dull perspective. :)

Neatly trimmed national cemeteries inspire a reverance different from any other cemetery. Good job capturing that.

Great job for your first attempt at dodge and burn. Congrats!

After merging the sky back into the rest of the image you might have wanted to clone out the haloing around the edge building in places. You may have left that there intentionally, but to my eye it looks like incomplete post processing.
