Lunch Atop A Skyscraper COLORIZATION

[zkogut]

Hi Everybody,

I chose to attempt to color the famous Lunch Atop A Skyscraper that is famously mis-credited to Lewis Wickes Hine (he didn't take this photo). It was extremely difficult to add color to this image. Nothing looked write in the white background areas. I chose to leave them white just as if they were over saturated with light. I did my best with the buildings below and with the skintones. Definitely not my best work but I still think it came out looking somewhat decent. Your thoughts?

Nicely done.

I like the colour against the monotone of the buildings, Zack. I think it adds to the depth and makes the shot all the more dramatic. You never cease to amaze me with these. I can't imagine how much time you must put into them.

Very nice job.

Nice work Zak.
I'm not on a calibrated monitor here, but the skin tones look good to me.

That would make for a nice print I think.

Thank you. It took me 3 days to color this. Mostly because I was constantly changing things.

Great job... As always with your colorizations. I never tire of seeing them.

Zak it has a very Norman Rockwell feel to it.

Hello, picture looks really good. I was wondering if it available to use in a large scale print? Do you have a high resolution copy? Thank you
