Winning entry, with a score of:
63.6%
Contest goal:

The goal of this contest is very simple: take any gray-scale photo and give it more colors! If you don't have a gray-scale photo, take a color photo and turn it into gray-scale first... then give it completely different colors.

You can also use an old black and white photo that was made before color photography was invented, and then colorize it as realistic as possible. ( Example tutorial: Colorize a vintage photo )

Realism is not necessary however, you can also give unusual colors and color combinations to your photo... Combinations that do not exist in real life.
Don't forget to post the originals in your source list, or in your SBS guide. Drawings are not allowed. Your photo must be fully colorized, no gray-scales can be visible in your work.

Good luck!


Status: finished. Check out the winners below!

jadedink: can we merge more than one black and white image together for the final result (after colorizing) or does it have to be ONE image only? ( 5 years and 3308 days ago )
Contest Moderator: it's allowed jadedink, as long as you mention all the original images seperately. ( 5 years and 3308 days ago )
DanLundberg: I assume 'any' means that using copyrighted gray-scale photos is acceptable. ( 5 years and 3307 days ago )
Contest Moderator: No Dan, normal copyright rules will apply. ( 5 years and 3307 days ago )
k5683: seems some people don't get how to do this contest correctly. I give kudos to the ones who have painted the color manually back into the photo ( 5 years and 3303 days ago )
Widiar: I thought making custom brushes from external sources is perfectly ok, as well as using external textures - was I wrong about that? ( 5 years and 3302 days ago )
k5683: I am definitely going to vote according to the SBS on these ( 5 years and 3301 days ago )
Contest Moderator: Submission time is closed, any entry submitted after 2000hrs GMT October 22 will be removed. ( 5 years and 3300 days ago )
