I didn't look at the comments before leaving my own. I gave this a 6 in the original voting. I think the composition is good with the Father being at the bottom. However, a tigher crop so there is less grass may have been good. Cut the picture just above the top of the leaves. You get grass to the left, but not too much. I'd also add just a touch more stone beneath the Father.

I'm finding a common theme among these pictures I'm commenting on and that is low contrast. I went into photoshop and think this pic has much more pop if you go into levels and change them to 20/1.00/215. This, in essence, adds contrast and I think it looks better.

this is a very nice idea, but since you went to black and white this is my thought.

Blacks good, whites need work, great texture, good comp, good lighting, nice lines, good title

I like that the stone is off center and composed with the dead leaves and in black and white.

Interesting take on the challenge and it works for me on a different level.
Perhaps a bit lighter in the highlights but otherwise a well done entry... :)
