Nice composition but too Photoshop'd.

I don't 'get' this picture, there is no-one left behind in the picture. The execution is rather poor in composition and the B&W conversion seems bad. On the whole it leaves a rather unattractive impression and does not convey any message or story convincingly.

One of the few that actually met the challenge...

I like the high contrast... except it might be too high because it flattens the image such that the focus (the stone) is washed out and overpowered by everything else around it.

i don't think b&w was a good choice here. too busy.

High contrast imaging is a good technique for this type of theme. Don't be surprised if some voters feel the technique was selected to mask what might otherwise be an average image. A ground level perspective with the tombstone looming above the viewer in the image would work well with a high contrast image like this.

This is one of the better shots for this challenge. I really like the 'negative' look here, and it works well for the challenge topic, and the content of your photo.
If there was anything I would improve on this it would to make the writing on the tombstone a little more visible.

Love the processing used here. Only change I'd make is to crop a little more off the bottom. Like the border too!

This looks oversaturated to me. The image of death meets the challenge. 5

there are hardly any grays in this pic. i must assume that's what you were going for, but it's not so appealing for me. i would have liked to make out a bit more of the tombstone.

no detail, too much contrast or something...good idea though

Picture looks very old...nice contrast

This is a bit more contrasty than I like - gives me a headache if I look at it too long. You might also try cropping a bit moe of the foreground to emphasize the more dramatic aspects of the image.

Oversharpened and too much contrast.
