Love how you took it from the perspective of the flowers arcing over the cross. Love the vibrant pink contrast vs. the white cold stone.

my favorite thing about this image is that you've cropped off the edges of the tombstone so it completely takes over the background. It becomes an embossed sky of stone. I might try enhancing this effect by not centering the cross, but that might screw up the composition.

comments: I'm trying to figure out if I'm being to picky on how shallow a DOF should be cause this is about the 3rd out of 7 I've voted on that don't really seem to be fitting the bill. While looking at past challenges I feel that shallow should be where only a very small portion is in focus (1-2"). I have to say that I wish you were closer to the flowers so that we could tell how shallow the field is. Still a wonderful image with great colors and layout and even a border that works well with it...good luck.

I like the way the flowers curve around the shape of the cross in the background and the contrast between the pink and the white makes a really striking image.
