I agree with you, they are related as places to rest. What I was trying to say is that in this shot I find this relationship a bit "forced", maybe a different composition could give better your idea.
Thank you for your comments. I disagree, however. The title is "A Place to Rest." Both the bench and the rows of headstones marking gravesites are intended to represent two different places of rest: resting for a moment on the bench and resting for eternity in the cemetery. It may be a poor representation in the picture, but they are related.
I'm sorry, but I think that this is one of your worse shot. This shot don't tell me anything, the long seat in front seems unrelated to background. I hope that this critique can help you and please don't take it as an offence.
