Nice framing, large DOF works well. I'd like to see the sun on the gravestoens, rather than behind it though.

Sky is a bit overexposed

The sky blends right into the roof of the church.

Nice composition here! I like this photo... I think the church building in the background got just a little over exposed possibly but its not a bad result... good work!

At another time of day, when the headstones aren't backlit, I think you'd have a better look. I can make out some lettering in the far R stone, but it still strikes me as too dark. Compositionally, I'm not very happy with the way Minnie is 'looking' out of the frame.

Excellent tonal range. Good subject for the comp topic.

interesting that you would title this after Minnie, when it's the church my eye is drawn to - being in the middle of the two head stones. would like to have seen more of the headstone, it seems to have great texture.

I really like b&w cemetary shots. So IMO perfect choice for the challenge. I can tell you where working with natural lighting, but the roof of the church and the tops of the gravestones seem overexposed. Still an above average shot.

Good capture, sky kinda washed out, along with the church roof, which makes them blend in together, but that's pretty minor. The Raymond's tombstone appears a bit dark, but it's not your real subject. Overall, really nice.

I like the way your composition gives some depth to the picture. It seems like there should be some contrast between teh church (?) roof and the sky.

glare on roof is distracting. Good idea.

I would have liked to see moor detail in the church building.

Graveyards always look fantastic in black n' white. You captured it well.

Nice detail on the stone at the front but the sky is far too burnt out - neitral grad might have helped.
