 I was riding around trying to get some ideas for this challenge. Then I took a ride by the cemetery where they were digging a grave and I got this idea.

The guy kinda looks like he's floating the way he's on the dirt, but you can't see the edge of the hole. Strange!

I find the picture not bad, but it seems to be streatching it a bit to fit the challenge topic. Quite good framing. Maybe a little over processed, but for such a scene the sky needs to be like that

In my humble opinion, this image is too "sharp"...it seems too artificial.

Interesting and clever take on the subject.

The sky works, but perhaps it's a bit overprocessed.

I like the idea behind it.

To me, the processing makes this a bit hard to look at.

This looks heavily PP'ed, but the more I look, the more I think it's NOT. Either way, I think this is a great photo; the colors are vivid and you had an interesting take on the challenge. One of the more original shots. Great job.

I like the idea, although in execution it may be a bit overprocessed. The camo jacket seems to draw my eyes too much as well.

Too bad your photo doesn't tell us where. IMO and to my personal taste ... way over processed. Can you spell shoehorn?

I undersatnd what you're after, but I don't think they dig graves until somebody actually dies; I mean, someone OWNS that plot after all...
I like the granularity of the processing, but I'm in a minority there.

This photo looks like it was processed using some type of HDR method.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

is this a hdr?

Cool HDR. Too bad about the forced connection to the challenge.
