Really good picture. I also like Cemetery photography, and this one is pretty well done. Great way to pay a homage to those brave man that fought in the name of their country.

First, the color is great on this one. I normally prefer B&W photos when it comes to cemetery photography. But this one is great in color. The green gives us a calm feeling, this calm rest is what we hope for those brave man. You also managed to get a super sharp picture, and thats just great.

The composition was good in the sense that it allowed for a great DOF, and we can see the pattern of graves going up the hill. I really like that. But I think the composition also has some faults. The main grave could be a little to the right, placing it at a bigger interest point of the frame. Also, those trees received a bad crop. A lower POV would have, IMO, produced a better image.

Great work, and keep on posting.
