Nice, but the font is not adapted to carving. (thin & thick: not good)

Anno Domini is usually spelled "A.D."
Month is missing, as well as name. Even a child dead on birth would have
a name. (it has been christened, otherwise no "obiit", hence a name is
missing... a cross instead of a skull is also more appropriate (but will
not be politically-correct... Muslim would have written in Arabic, Jews
in Hebraic, so it is not already politically correct anyway)

The stone need a texture scaled down (it look so far as a toy)

Is there a lamp around, as the lighting is not symetrical to the candle
(and far too strong for a candle)

Latin on tombstone, but USA's tombstone (or english ?): european
tombstone would have a stone to cover the grave cut. If fresh, the grave
backfill would be visible as delimitation of the burial, until the cover
stone is done.
Cheap tomb could get gravel instead of cover stone, but at least the
gravel would be in a delimited box.

The tree near the tombstone made it USA. May be a private grave ? (as
there is no path nearby, and no other stones)
