Nice use of selective desaturation. This usually comes out badly but it fits well here. Nice dop, too.

Whoa, interesting that they didn't update her date...wonder if she remarried. Because of that I'm not sure I'd consider this romantic since he basically was forgotten. Would've been better with the flower and dates that weren't so long ago.

Comment by Artifacts:
Content, composition and the use of red combined with sepia makes this a fine image and concept. The clear message that Alfred is NOT and will never be resting eternally with Margaret is powerful. Are they life long lovers torn asunder by circumstance? Did Margaret find another love after Alfred was gone? Was Alfred the only one carrying a torch? We will never know.

The distracting thing about this image is the letters in the names are obscured by the ravages of time.

Poor Alfred died in 1908, but his wife isn't beside her, but is presumably dead after 135 years. You probably should have picked another tombstone, but I think it is a good idea and the desaturation of all but the red (flower) is touching.

Nice choice of subject matter and selective use of colour, very emotive.

Lovely shot, unusual for a "romance" challenge. Very interesting to note there is no date of death for the wife. Since she didn't live to be 135, i wonder if she married again and was buried elsewhere. Kinda kills the enduring love angle...
