I like the fog. I also like the way your first row of stones leads naturally to the stones in the background. The brown leaves above the row of stones is a bit of a distraction to me. I also think that the highlights on the first row of stones are a bit harsh. If it were my image, I might make some alterations; but as it is, it is very compelling and a pleasing photo. Well done. Very nice composition.

I like too, although the download isn't large enough to view into the details closer.
I would look at cropping some off the top and right side keeping the same ratio. I would bring the right side in a bit to be between the distance headstone s and the tree (or building?) that goes off the right edge. This is also going the cut through branches of the tree on the top left. The result is the positioning will change slightly. It's an experiment that might / might not be an improvement.

I like the shot because of its limited range of hues. It suggests to me the feelings of peace.and quiet.

I rarely comment on photos, however the conceptual presence of this one speaks out. I really like it as is. With the fog and the leaves among the headstones it says late fall and Halloween. I also like the distant headstones as, to me it lends a sense of scale with a tinge of remorse.

I love the fog, adds to the somber mood and feeling of quietness. The only change I would consider is a crop on the right side to remove the larger concrete structure (entry?). I like the distant headstones and adds to the sense that the graves go on and on and on. It is a well done image that shows lots of thought in composition.

The image is discordant. The headstones and the fog are out of harmony with the brightness and the vivid colour. The atmosphere is bright and cheerful but the subject isn't.

Other than the cropping mentioned my eye is distracted by the two trees growing out of two tombstones. Next time I would move a bit left or right to have that not happen.
If needed, I could render a rationale for the "discordance" of this photograph.

Thank you, this is my go to foggy morning place it dates back to the mid 1700's. I have many photos from here.

Thank you for your input about the highlights, I have tighter compositions of this cemetery, I was attempting to get pairs of leading lines using the leaves with a row of headstones between them

The structure on the right is a tree I was using it as a stop so the viewers eye would not leave the photo. I will try a new crop and see how it looks. I shoot there often especially in the fall when we have lots of thick morning fog
