It's amazing how a splash of colour brings an antique photo to life. The leaves on the big tree on the right could do with a bit of toning down as it seems a bit fluroecent.

Overall it's not to bad. Maybe you could do a gradient fill for the sky.

Hi deadants

Thanks for the comments I do agree with you about the trees, but also the picture contains a few other areas that work could have been better, like the legs area most of that is still in greyscale, and some of the distant trees have grey halos.

But it is still a great feeling to be able to do this type of work, sat at my pc, at home for a couple of hours, from what the picture was originally to this version I am well pleased.

I would hate to think what it would cost to get it done by a professional -
