I love old headstones, and what a find with the skull and crossbones! The foreground headstone, whereas it is centered, works well to enhance the background. I like how when you concentrate on one or the other that your eyes naturally create the dof and focus out the other. The use of black and white is, of course, perfect for the image. Not sure I can see much here that could be improved on.

Very nice composition. It makes me feel like I'm there!

Really interesting subjects you have here. However, I would personally have cropped the image at the top, cutting off the tops of the background grave stones. I feel that that would make the two stones ith skulls on more of the subject and also the stones in the background look too uniform, like someone was stocking them up to be used later.

However, well done. Good try =)
