Hi, I love old headstones and exploring old cemetaries, amazing and

sometimes sad stories can be discovered. Please tell me what you

think will improve my photo.

Imo, you have a nice exposure of the earth at the expense of the sky. Since you manipulated this digitally, I would blend (if possible) two duplicates of this image in PS, one optimized for the ground, one for the sky. If this were orginally color, or from the RAW, I would do it before converting it to bw. Then I would flatten the image, channel mix and see what you come up with. I suspect you'll get a better tonal range this way as well.

If shot on film I would balance the exposure more evenly and dodge and burn in post.

Like the comp. Good cemetary photography is tough imo, and I like the shot. Take care. James.
