Thanks all for your comments.
Franky: the softness of the photo is due to the slightly blurred original (hand held at long exposure) plus the softness added by the plug-in (Virtual Photographer) I used to get the monochrome effect. I isolated the stones and sharpened them a bit.
Cheers, Derya.

Derya, I really like the composition and the monochrome choice. In addition I also like taking gravestone images. * Still I am missing the sharpness (or crispness). I am not sure whether the long exposure time or the resizing or something else had caused the blurr. Cheers, Frank

Nice composition and good work in PP. I like the desaturation and high contrast. MCsaba

Derya, I think this is a good idea...and works well with your composition and toning . Nice contrast..and a moody feel here. Nice photo. MFC
