Birthday Boy
« on: Wednesday 19 September 07 23:29 BST (UK) »
The little boy being held in his daddy's arms is 70 tomorrow.

Would anyone like a go at colouring this photo?  Sorry I can't really give any advice on colours, other than that his mother would not be wearing brown, which she hated with a passion.

Hi Aulus

One from me.  If you don't like the colours, I can easily change them.

PS I have test printed this to A4 size and it prints fine (a percentage of colour intensity will be lost when downloaded and saved) but if you would prefer a less saturated version, that's no problem.

Here's another variation more in keeping with the period.

Beautiful, Caz.

I especially like the second one.

Could you make the hair of the birthday boy and his father (the two on the right) blacker?  We (the men in this line) are all a very dark brown - well, were until we went grey-white.

Beautiful job, Caz.

So natural looking.

Don't know how you do it!

Many, many thanks.

Hi Aulus
Here's a coloured one from me
Being last in line, I have tried to use different colours so as not to copy the excellent restores already posted
