Default Headstone and Bluebonnets

I went to an old cemetary the other day which was covered in wildflowers. This is my favorite photo in the lot, but as tweaking the saturation and lighting a little I worry the headstone maybe too dark now. Any coments or suggestions on the color and/or lighting? Thank you.

i think the colors look a bit washed out, a little bit editting can do a lot, also using a polarizer your colors would be deeper and more saturated

I like the idea of the flowers in the foreground with the headstone in the background Nice use of DOF. But I don't really like how some of the flowers in the foreground is out of focus. (Maybe a crop to cut it out?)

In my opinion the stone doesn't looks too dark, the shadows casted onto it actually creates a nice effect Nice shot!

TFS!
