Moving scene. I think the shadow falling on the wreath adds to the message effectively. I agree with the lighpost comment. Some folks would clone it out; others feel that violates the reality of the image.

It is too small to tell but it looks like it needs sharpening and shadows/hightlights and historgram work.
I like the shadows. I think it would have been better to focus on one lady from back - for me it kind of confuses the mood to have many people and the lines of the buildigns. It gives it the feel more of a landscape than the mood that you are attempting.
I know you can't do it again and its difficult to shoot these pictures so I am just giving my reaction in case it helps in the future.
