Wow - 100 years for someone born in 1877 - quite remarkable. Love the angle you chose for the shot.

Simple and sad, but not so sad if you read the lifetime on the stone. Good picture.

Don't you wish there was spot editing? Those tall grasses are annoying, but I know you couldn't do anything about them except for ripping them out. I think this is a great picture. It would be nice to have the other tombstones more blurred out, but fine otherwise.

Great Idea for this challenge. I like the lighting, composition and that you found a stone that was so old with a person that lived over 100 years. good job

Like the depth of field but find the tombstone in the middle a bit distracting.

the sideways headstone in the middle is so distracting, and it seems like its all focused on the left side then cut down the middle and out of focus on the right. odd. love the left side, not so much the right. 6
