A graveside shot with a person in it--puts a different slant on things for sure; seems a little dark and/or flat to me, although that seems to be a desirable look for a lot of people.

I am not sure of the reasoning for the angle.

The gravestone seems a bit old for the youngin to be connected, but whatever, it's a nice photo.

Comment by Artifacts:
Good concept. Sepia and perspective work well for this image. Generally good exposure and dodge and burn done nicely to create an ominous sky. Overall technical quality is OK.

Some viewers may vote lower from a "meet the challenge" standpoint because they will blieve it is staged. It will be hard for them to believe that the model could have such profound sadness over a lost relative that died in 1904. Some may not like the angled perspective.

The sky and trees make a great background but the mausoleum and building in the background act as a distraction from your model.
