Adeline - this is a poignant image, but I feel it could be strengthened by straightening it so that the horizontal lines of the tombstone are truly horizontal. If this is deliberately slanted, then it needs to be more so, so it doesn't look like a slight "oops". Also, toning down or masking those very white areas at the top edge would focus our attention more solidly on the little figure and her immediate surroundings. That would aid the good shallow dof that you have achieved. As it is, the dead white attracts the eye away from the main event. But a well seen subject.

Good subject for your Silence theme, agree with Kit about the grave needing to be level. Also better light would had made this image work so well, either early morning or the end of the day when the sun is low, as this would cast good shadows and enhance the stone angel. This is a similar shot that I took at the end of the day. www.f-stop-cafe.com/index.cgi?board=mono&action=display&thread=966
