good work author...

Where is the manipulation at ??

lol @ meatman

meatman, check the flags behind him, he may have changed them a little. lol

lovelly work. i try some colorizing from time to time but i dont have that much patience. it takes to long. but you'v managed to do it really nicelly.

good luck

pardon me. I took it as a color photo that was changed to black and white. lol

I agree with pshoudini it takes a lot of patience to do that kind of work
and u certainly did it..high marks for that author!! GL.

great job author, though I think you need to work on the color of the skin right up to the hair line, his gray hair is running into the scalp, great job all round (IMHO)
