Dead History

Exactly as Lyra has suggested , only afterwards i think B&w would suit this shot best as there are no colors here to add any real appeal.

Okay, how's this crop?

I'm not sure how to work with layers. I was able to make a duplicate layer, but didn't know how to set the opacity of the layer. I'm using the trial version of Photoshop Elements right now.

I did one in color and one in b/w. I increased the contrast and decreased the brightness a little bit.

You did a great job with the rotating and cropping from the side and bottom, but took a little too much off the top for me. I believe I prefer it in B&W, but the headstone seems to blend in too much, perhaps a bit more contrast will help, or if you're really daring try some selective coloring.
