Looks good, the utility pole is a bit distracting....I would of cropped the photo just to the right of that pole. Also, I don't like seeing the plowed snow and the street, I would of cropped it right below where the actually graveyard starts.

I agree with you, I felt that if i croped it, it would take away from the photo.

This pic sets a great mood.

Cropping the bottom doesn't work, but I'd crop the pole out. I'd also increase the contrast and maybe sharpen slightly.

For me, there's just way too much in the first image here. The cropped version is better, but those power lines are too distracting for this image, at least for me.

I liked cropped as well because the power pole draws too much attention to the left side of the photo.

I agree. When I look at the uncropped photo my eyes go to the piled snow on the left. Maybe get closer to get a different angle.

The colors are great and set the mood for the photo.

Cropped is better, but still way to busy and distracting.

I don't disagree with any of the comments. However, for me, part of the charm of this image is the very fact that the cemetery is just a part of the village scene.
