I think you entered the right one. The other's are nice but the sepia really adds some emotion to the shot.

The duetone is cool and also I think that I would have prefered the B&W rather than the sepia one.
For my opinon the sepia is to redish and also I think it needs more contrast or less brightness.
Nice image though.

Well - here's what I said during the challenge:

Sepia was the right choice for this image. Nice repeating shapes and shadows. Composition well thought out.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

In the Color version - the leaves on the ground draw too much attention with the brown/green contrast. Lest we forget to rake the leaves?

The black and white seems to be a bit muddy to me - no real "white whites" or "black blacks"

And I'm just not fond of most duotones.

(edit for speeeling)

i think my pick would have been the duotone, but the sepia is a really good choice too.

I also like the "duotone" the best... I can't exactly put my finger on WHY I like it the best. I think because the blue sky kind of "links" the grave stones (the soldiers) with the living world in a way. It just fits better in this case.

The sepia is a little strong for me. Maybe tone it down a little.

EDIT: Above I mention "soldiers", because I just assumed because the stones look all the same like you see in this type of cemetary... But in any case, soldier or non, the "link" to the departed with the living world is still there... was my point.
