I find the headstones blend into the undergrowth too much in this photo. I'm wondering if a fill flash may have helped here or i'm sure some nifty photoshopping could help.
I'll see if i can do anything to it......

OK i cropped it abit. I really wanted to crop the front cut grass andan object in the lower right as well. in the end i cropped the large tree out to.
I then masked the tombstones and colour corrected them to grey.... This was a hard one IMO because i'm sure the original photo is to show the tombstones as forgotten.

I like the selective color correction idea.  The overall shot was too bland for my taste and I couldn't put my finger on why.  The green moss on the stone was camouflaging.  I think I'll try a version a bit less drastic than yours - look for a middle ground.

Thanks a bunch.

Yes i think i took it too far.... I wasn't happy with my revision, but if it gave you ideas then i guess its still beneficial.
I didn't worry too much with masking the grass in front either. just used the polygon lasso tool then edited in the mask mode.
