Taken outside of the church in Bolton town centre, I'm always intreged by old grave stones, and these that have been used as a sort of paving around the outside of the church made for an interesting composition.

focus feels a tiny bit off, maybe apply some USM in photoshop, and add a tiny notch of contrast to make those cracks pop out a little more

come on Joe, get upto date with your accronyms :)

As far as the USM goes, I'd actually already used an action that I downloaded for sharpening my images, but I'm always careful not to over do it, as with this image when I had the sharpening turned up more, it left the image looking more like a drawing than a photograph and I didn't like it.

Thanks for the comments
