Treasured Photograph
« on: Friday 24 October 14 07:05 BST (UK) »
I found a treasured photograph of my late wife which I took about fifteen years ago.  I wish to frame it.

At the time I thought black and white was the best choice.
Could you please colour this photograph for me ?

She had a fair complexion, mid brown mousy hair going grey, her eyes were very pale blue near to grey, her jumper was light grey, pearl drop earrings, sitting in a armchair with a light magnolia wall in the background.

Thank you.

Davemed.

Hi Davemed,

sorry I am not one of the talented restorers of photos - but just wanted to say, I can see why it is a treasured photo - Lovely lady!  I hope some of the restorers/colourers can help out.

Hello maggbill,

Haven't been on the website for a few months.

Thanks for your lovely message about my late wife.  She died on the 12th August this year and as you can imagine I miss her.

David.

What a happy photo for memories, Dave.

Can't do colour I'm afraid - just sharpened it up a bit.
