Thanks for the comments, I got a few about it looking tilted - the cemetery where I took this photo was on hill, thus giving the effect of the tilt, I wasn't sure whether to rotate it because technically it was squared up. Oh well.

Terrific subject and for one, the B&W treatment looks appropriate and has been very well done. I am really impresed with the highlight on the top of the break and the contrast of the white fallen stone and the blackness of the hedge behind it. Through all of that you have maintained the texture and subtle colours of the marble in the bit left standing. The composition has let it down a bit in that the rest of the cemetary becomes a distracting background. Not sure how to beat that though. Could you have got a more neutral background from the rise behind the grave? Or perhaps even just crop it tighter. Unfortunately you've fallen foul of my pet-peeve, images not squared up. All you need to do is rotate to get your verticales correct. When you don't do that, it gives the impression that you've been sloppy in your preparation

meets the challenge... good overall shot.. the white on the fallen part of the tombstone looks a bit washed out (could be my monitor) - does it need to be rotated a bit to even up the skyline?

I like it, but the backgrounds seems a little tilted to me.

Could you have waited for the sun to be on the other side? Shadows are distracting

it's just a little flat to me...

Hi. I like the idea, but the shadows seem to hide the subject a bit (I know it's tough to position the sun...). The focus seems a bit soft also.

This is great, would have liked some straightening to have happened though, as the impression is its slanted for no reason.

Different angle maybe?
