Greetings from the Critique Club
Initial thoughts/My opinion
Great point of view, right on the topic. Took me quiet some time to get what it is though.
Content/Composition
This is of course a very special point of view you have form your apartment! The view to the trees from far above is already very special by itself, but the grave stones just top it. Very good choice.
However, the image is a little confusing: it takes some time to get what one is looking at: first there is the network of the tree branches and then one sees some rectangular bright "thinks". Only at the very top one can see that there are actually grave stones. Then, after reading the title the image becomes of course clear.
A more clear, easier to get portion (maybe just the top) and a tighter crop or more zoomed in would have been better.
As mentioned by others, the image appears to be a little bright/low contrasted. Darkening it would probably improved it a bit.
You mentioned that the trees should resemble their roots under the grave yard. While I do see the intention, it didn't work well for me: even if I try to imagine this, my brain switches back to the inverse, real scene. Doesn't matter much though.
Camera work - Technically
Focus seems fine although the image is a little fuzzy due to the many branches, but this is not important. Exposure see above.
Digital Processing - Technical
You did a good job on sharpening: not too much, just right.
A border might have been nice.
Fits the challenge
Of course, very good!
Good luck for your upcoming submissions |

| The branches make for nice texture. Greyscale works well with this subject. Interesting shot. |

| Awesome shot! I'm not sure exactly what I'm looking at, but it appears to be a shot from way up high onto a cemetary viewing tombstones/gravesites? I like the contrast of the geometric shapes of the stones with the branches. B&W perfect but it could use some more sharpening and contrast, imo. Very unique image and POV. Well done! |

| Wow, definitly a perspective from a diffeent vantage point. You have a very intrigueing shot here. The overlying tree branches add a earie feel to it, but yet I almost feel as if there is something missing. I can't put my finger on it, I realize it is a busy photo, but I'm not sure it's that, maybe it simply needs a border, I'm not sure. However, regardless, you get an 8 from me! |

| Clever title, unique pov, scene a bit busy (no pun intended), like the use of b&w |

| That is cool. Beautiful bird's eyeview ... it took me a while to figure this out. But that is the beauty of the picture. It really invites you to explore its elements ... |

| Good idea and point of view. Maybe a little darker could improve the "underworld" mood |
