There's no great fan of colorization in this cornfield but those are outstanding! Never seen better! Impressed!
What is most attractive is the attention to detail - the chain, the label on the meat package, and many other features.
NICE JOB! In fact - SUPER JOB!
As an aside, flipping through the pages of the newspaper, it was nice to be reminded of:
Jimmy Walker, Richard Arlen in "The All-American," Old Gold guaranteeing no cough, Johnston & Murphy shoes for a sawbuck, and, of course, the legendary Joe Cronin.
I "talked" with my Dad and the old man is looking down and smiling at your work.

Yeah, same source picture, just my version of the colour.

Pretty sure those are legs and not socks : )

Helmet was a bit of guesswork, could easily be tan/leather and not orange.

The above mentioned fix was that the original image was somewhat discoloured and so everything had a somewhat yellowish/sepia colour to it. Desaturated the original and replaced the base layer image with the new image.

Thanks.

Ironically, colouring Harold Ely himself took about an hour. The rest took 7+ hours.

The colorization helps with my Autism; I get to switch off completely, which is nice.
