Love your title, the detail, focus, composition, everything about this one, the tital reminds me of a phrase I have, "If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again" if only the stairs were that simple to climb, good luck a 10 from me

Mmm interesting, the cropping is a little tight i think, having the image more centered would make it better, getting this shot possibly at night, or even converting it to B&W would have helped this image alot, 6 either way. would have given a 8 if a few things were different.

Good subject, A very nice sharp focus, great composition,The only thing IMO is that the grass and head stones in the background are very bright and distracying = 8

Technicals: uninspiring composition. lighting is reasonable.
Feel: I think this gets the dreaded moniker of "snapshot". It's just too centered and too obvious in its composition. Does capture death and has the extra "wow" of being a celebrity.
Score: 4

greens look oversaturated and the sidewalk in the corner is a distraction, would either include sidewalk all across the image or better recompose to remove it
