Putting the colour back ...

Cool! :} :} :}

The color may be a little too saturated but that's a minor quibble. Excellent work, wbiss!

Sit back in amazement to start with - you've all certainly given me plenty to think about! I haven't done anything this week - busy at work - but I shall now have a quiet think and see what I can do with all your suggestions!
And, Wendy, I shall print out your version to show John - he's here this week (visits every now and again, filling the washing machine and emptying the fridge, as do all sons!)

Thank you all.

If someone can make something like this out of nothing (see attachment), then I can only say WOW!
You removed the noise without losing details, the image has exactly the right contrast, well balanced natural colours, beautiful skin tone with the necessary reds, eyes that speak, nice work on the eyebrows, all scratches/dust have been removed, etc.

Without any doubt one of the best colourizations I've seen in a long time.

[size=18px]Very well done[/size] Wendy! [righton]

Fascinating work! And plenty to make me think! I set about adjusting my original ideas and then I thought - hey, I can't do that well, but - how about combining the ideas that keeper, moth and wendy have produced???
And here's what I got:

Shaun,

That's an excellent job. I particularly like the fact that it doesn't look colorized but rather as if it were the original photo and that is what you were after, I believe. Wendy's treatment is exemplary for the dramatization of a colorization but more boldly obvious.

Yes, I thought we could "retrieve" the original colours, but the picture had faded too much and lost too much for that.

Wendy's version has improved on the original in giving more structure to the face. I like the approach she used (not one I've tried yet).

I've made one last adjustment, and that is to the cardigan, which was a light yellow.

Perfect it isn't, but John likes it, and I'll find out what my wife thinks when she gets back later (she's gone off to a Church Sale; but I don't think they'll get much for the building ...)
