great shot..the tones effectively support the emotional state of the setting...the perspective allows the viewer to gain the mass number, to the point where they almost become like dominos...very effective...

This brings to my mind the stars on a waving American flag. A great shot.

Congrats on the finish!

This was one of my favorite images from the competition. I gave it a 9.

The perspective effect is wonderful on its own, but it also carries the emotional impact as well of those graves multiplying the further back you go. And the sepia coloring intensifies the sense of loss.

Edited to clarify that both the perspective and the "carrying back the emotion" were good.

somehow you took a standard shot and made it your own. I think it's the way the stones slope up again in the background, and also the high contrast sepia effect. haunting. 8

Impresive subject. Good interpretation. I would have like to see it more sharp. Good luck 6

Nice composition, just to nitpick, I would have preferred it if the headstone in front was all in the frame, bottom too but nothing that is really bothering me. Excellent tones in this image, 7 from me.

The perspective of this image is very interesting and the symmetry of the image works very well. The image could use a bit of sharpening and if you would have taken this shot from just a bit lower perspective, you might have prevented the blown highlights on top of the markers.

wow... nicely chosen. not sure i like the saturation.. pure b/w might have worked better for me.
