The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

Rob, I think once again you really have brought this to life with the color, it's natural looking, and I like how you showed them next to each other for a terrific comparison. tigs=^..^=

The hand is out for soap or is it a gesture. Your skin tones are most excellent.

Long before the white man and long before the wheel, when the dark green forests were too silent to be real. Lightfoot 1967

Perfectly done again, Rob. Your small collage gives us the opportunity to compare both images in one view. It's amazing to me what coloring can do when it's done in the way you did: it has become a jolly and uncomplicated/spontaneous image now.
Compliments again, my friend!

Dramatic effect on your results, works beautifully. What I really like best about the work you are doing on these photos, is that you feel the essence of the times, actually even the mentality. They represent something of value in their behavior and it does not always focus on the "ego" which has blown out of proportion in recent years.

No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.

lol at Rob's funny bone giggles

My question is, and this was photographed ... WHY? Was it part of a public service message? "That's right, girls. Personal hygiene is important! Just look at Nancy and Becky here!" Was there a vicious incident of towel snapping at Arlington Virginia and they wanted to demonstrate proper conduct? Was a fashion catalog pushing their new gingham robe?

Beautifully suds'd and brought to life by you, Rob.

This is really amusing! All I can think is how much trouble it looks like they went to curl their hair, and a shower will put an end to that! lol Anyway, you did a great job of colorizing this.
