Did you change this? There is supposed to be a signature on the bottom right.

[–]thibbledork[S] 0 points1 point ago

If such is the case, talk to the guy who put it on r/pics- i just used his. I didn't crop, shop or mess with it at all beyond that.

[–]douglasman100 0 points1 point ago

Yeah well that guy reposted it and took another persons credit I guess.

[–]ChromaticFades 0 points1 point ago

I've seen this same picture a lot, but never in color. Was this altered?

[–]Dr_professional 1 point2 points ago

Yes it was colorized.

[–]thibbledork[S] 0 points1 point ago

It could have been restored in color, or an archived color photo that was released. History channel is likely to blame.
