An impressive shot, even if photographically spoken it may not have been your best shot of the cemetery (as you write). I also like the many leading lines that seem to -railway like- converge into a distant point beyond the horizon.

Martin, the others are now up on the website, but if I tell you the URL, I'd have to kill you...

I think it's a good one. Colour, composition and exposure are all right for me.
