A Dad's Grave by Special.
I couldn't decide between black & white or color so I just did both.

Wow, that makes me want to tear up. Is there a story behind that?

Are those (based on) the original colors, or did you colorize afterwards?

Either way, it's really a profound picture, and very sad.

Afroswede, I don't really have a story about the grave, it just caught my eye and like you I nearly teared up so I just had to photograph it. It's a 'fresh' grave so that's why all the dirt is there.

Selva, I only stripped out the grass/dirt colors. The colors left in the photo are the originals, but just brightened a touch.

this is an excellent shot and your editing choices are brilliant. The color in the children's tribute to his life surrounded by the colorless place of rest for the dead.

The freshness of the grave reminds us that there is freshness in the grieving process.

Mask out the stuff you want in color, invert the mask. Desaturate. Bada-bing.

Okay, this pops back up in my "photos you've commented on" list, and I click it, and I still get all messed up looking at that photo.

Daddies shouldn't go away.
