Bostich1 says:

Ellegantly gothic and ethereal. A beautiful image that conveys a sense of eternal lonliness.
A "well done" would sound trite and wouldn't be sufficient.
So, I will say exceptional!

I often think that a cementery is a good setting for taking pictures, but this image exceeds my expectations. It´s incredible good!!!
The mood you obtained with the dark tones, the children´s clothing and their expressions of solemnity... all together make a perfect shot. Congrats :-)

a very poignant photo - evokes many memories for me being Rookwood Cemetry Sydney Australia I assume (correct me if I'm wrong).

There's an aussie saying that to be sick is "to be as crook as Rookwood"

Aussie rhyming slang perhaps?
