Hi Holquin

I really like this shot. The only thing I can offer is I would have liked to see a bit more foreground at the bottom of the tombstone. Seemed a bit cut off. Really like the dual image you captured.

Seems a bit morbid, but I like it. Love the use of B&W here as well as the wide aperature and focal point. (love the "line up" of the stone behind the focal stone) Don't think I'd change anything.
