I generally find it difficult to enjoy images of statues as, to me, they feel forced. In this case I think you've composed it quite well, choosing to keep the date in the frame and with her arm as a leading element to draw in the viewer. However, it's still not quite there for me. Just one person's opinion :-)

I like this image quite a bit. This certainly isn't your basic tombstone. I think you've done a terrific job with the range of tones, from the dark grays of her garment to the white-out negative space in the upper right portion of the picture. I think the red stains add impact. And this shot is certainly relevent. Well done IMHO.
