I had never seen that photo before. Nicely, nicely done. The soldier on the bike has such a wonderful,inviting smile. It's great!

True! It almost seems to say "Come on, come and have a chat with us, we have much to tell." However, it's nice to see that, despite everything that the soldiers have passed, it was still possible to smile....

Yet another picture I haven't seen before. I is a thought provoking image. So much to wonder what he is thinking about. Good job on the color again.

Thanks Capt, I think at that moment was not thinking, seems more than his brain is in blackout, automatic thoughts, which then can not remember.... we will never know what were these thoughts, but we can imagine!

Iwo Jima! Oorah

 

This is familiar for all, but the pictorial version, which is born trying to remove the errors of the jpeg with an effect, I really like!

That was exceptional. Just beautiful. BTW, how long did that take you? Just curious.

You mean in general or for this photo? For this photo I do not have controlled the start and end hour, but I'd say 2-3 hours. Others less, others a couple of days! Everything depends on how clear are the details to color... :D

Yes, I was trying to get an idea of how long this one took you, and you answered my question. That's what I thought; each photo is very time-consuming. I am NOT surprised. It's a lot of work.

Is true, however, is very pleasant to get to the end and see what it has always been black and white, as could be in reality!

After a long time, I completed a new photo!

 

This is the Raticosa Pass, in Tuscany. Not far from where I have a home for the holidays.

 

It was Christmas 1944.
