Thanks keeper..I'm starting to get a feel for controlling the tints without over doing it, now I have to make sure I don't under saturate the colors..it's always something..lol

Along with the other examples you've done, these are genuinely some of the better colorizations I've seen - the skin tone along with the hair look quite realistic. Often these come out a bit "pastel" - bit I think this has to do with the discerning eye of the photoshop artist.

You mention you use "selective color" and "hue / saturation" - any more pointers? Do you paint on any layers for colour variety? Just a general overview of your method would be helpful. Thanks.
