Hi, my name is Kari and from the critique club.

First Impression - the most important one:
This is a pleasant cementary shot ... a solid entry in the stock photo.

Composition:
The leading lines as mentioned by the commentators are nice ... but that is all. Trying out diffrent depths of field ... and seeing how changing the aperture and ISO settings could be fun ...

Subject:
Meets the challenge but it just isn't enough for this shot people are looking for something different ... picking one headstone to focus on ... one of interest .. a little quirky perhaps ... using DOF to make things nice and blurred .. that sort of thing.

Technical (Colour and light):
A little washed out .. playing with contrast and reducing brightness helps with this.

To grow its vote?:

Find a focus ... pick on the unique ... I think people were expecting cemetaries .. but this just didn't tickle the fancy.

Summary:

Its a 'nice' image ... well done.

If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via the PM system.

Cheers

Kari

Maybe a shallower depth of field would have worked more for me. I am somewhat distracted by the stones to the left.

Cemetary photos are to be expected in this challenge. However, a unique cemetary photo would have been appreciated. Good luck in future challenges.

I love the use of leading the lines, all though I believe when you took this you could have gotten closer to the first tomb stone.

Playing wth brightness and contrast may have added to make this shot more interesting.

Overall, color is bland, focus isn't 100%
