I think you should improve the deep of field.

That's an interesting concept for stats! Very interesting photo. B&w works well, but having an issue with the arch thing to the right. It's sprouting out of the cross. Perhps a bit of an different aspect for this. (You lower and to the right a bit.)

sharper focus could have improved this picture a lot.

Nice markers and composition. Just wish that it were sharper, did you not use a tripod for low light, allowing better ISO, less noise, etc.

Cute idea, nice shot. The shot seems to need a bit more contrast but that's just a matter of personal taste. The back end of the goal post is distracting but understandably avoidable in the image.

Nice job getting a true after the game image. I like the conversion - it focuses on the geme information (vs. I'd imagine a rather colorful scoreboard).

cool concept but out of focus

lol that is different, not sure I've ever seen that before, but should it makes sense! A blow out for the visitors.

The blurring on the tombstones and in general hurt this shot...good idea...weak shot,

sweeeeeeet, morbid, but sweeeeeet, a 10 just since you had the nerve to use this i like your style! good luck!!!!!

Good concept but not knowing the custom with the graves at a sportsfield I'd like to be able to read them to understand. Cropping out the tall thing at the right would remove that as a distracting feature but still leave the crosses: 6

That's a very cool and fun idea this school has. :) The image is fun because of the subject. It's a bit grainy and seems a little fuzzy. Were you using a tripod for this? Anyway. Good luck in the challenge.

overall score: comp-1 (everything is in frame, but the view is plain, I need more interesting angle), MC-2, PP-0 (i'd add sharpness and contrast, and lighten this uninformative black on the background), impression-0, wow-0 = 3. sorry.

Is that an oxymoron? I mean, that's a very funny composition and yet it's a graveyard.
Anyway, interesting idea. I'd like to see the scoreboard more on focus, though.
