Struggled with this subject, bet most are the same old headstone pics.
touch of levels, desaturate, burn out foreground shadows with rubbish/leaves etc.
burned out overbright distractions around crosses.
Selected crosses applied unsharp mask, 156/3.5/3.
resize, save for web.

I am making two passes on this Challenge. I will vote on your photo then return later(before voting is over) to comment on what I like and dislike about your shot. You can take the comments however you wish and I will try not to be mean. Just don't take it the wrong way.

I wish you could have gotten a little closer and gotten away from the big tree that is causing IMO the bad shadow.
Nice photo, the three crosses alone demand the viewers attention. But what you tried to frame the crosses in (a tree or something that cuts off the right, left and top-left, top-right) takes away from the overall quality of the shot.
Awh... the three bears are dead? =) Very nice composition. I would only like to see only a little more highlights... the photograph has an overall "grey" look to it.
