Nice shot with the lines of graves and stripes in the background. I like the fallen leaves fading out to grass only. Good colours. Just as well Fuji is committed to film. I'd hate to lose it.
 
I think that's a really good photograph. Have you considered cropping some off the bottom?

Interesting idea, I could turn it into a rectangular format image. Would you suggest losing the 'muddy' foreground ?
 
Assuming the image is representative of the focusing, I would suggest that it would be better if you had expanded the depth of field with a smaller aperture and set the focus for the hyperfocal distance keeping the distance in focus and bringing into focus more of the foreground. I would crop the image with less of the bottom and top and rotate it about 2 degrees clockwise to get the verticals plumb.
 
Thanks for the advice Jbbooks, guess you've never used a Lubitel
 
I didn't look at your equipment listing, only your comment that "focus is on mid image". I thought it looked a bit strange, but, since I have absolutely no talent for digitizing images, I simply put it down to someone else having the same problem. That said, I will certainly not be in the market for a "Lubitel". However, don't feel bad, I don't care for Lenbabies, Holgas or coke bottle bottoms as lenses, either.
 
cOKE BOTTLE BOTTOMS WOULD PROBABLY BE AN IMPROVEMENT
