Maybe the world should still be in color, and she has lost it, color that is. Maybe you tried that and it didn't look right. Maybe I don't have a clue what I'm talking about. Maybe I'll give you a 10, hmmmmmmm...................................................... , Maybe next time. Being Serious though, Excellent shot-setup, focus, light, effects. I give it a 9.

Nice use of selective color.

To me this looks much too contrived, the desaturation, the pose...it doesn't seem genuine...picture like this walk a very fine line, some may even find it offensive or mocking...you can't really fake "sorrow".

I think this would have more impact if the model was also desaturated .... just keep the flowers in color ....

If this was taken from a distance, and left to true color or all BW, then it would be believable... this is not. It feels very staged, and therefore leaves me with an odd distaste for the photo.

color in living and colorless for dead. nice. Wish the grass and leaves were also saturated. but nice thought.

good idea, could have benefitted from a little more space over the umbrella; as well, all inBW woould have been stronger IMO

Nice composition but bad cropping. Umbrella must be totally in the picture.
