I think that churches and graveyards must have a universal appeal to photographers the world over because of the emotion and drama they create. Your wonderful shot reminded me a shot I took last year //www.fotothing.com/Hairlessman/photo/6050d6e9c82cb71abf504a08e378a9d9/start=361. I enjoy your pic's...
Oh, that's just heartbreaking :-( I like the other one better as an image, though. I think because of the perspective you used; I like the gravestone taking over the foreground with the church providing context in the background.
