Well tried for an old polaroid effect think it's just about right.

I like the crocs the young child is wearing ;) But, what in the world is that long hair thing to the right? Humm...

Merry Christmas, Rob, and Happy New Year!

Norman Rockwell was 30 years old at the time of this photo's publication, and considering the familial nature of his subjects, this could easily have been one of his "study" photos.

Vrolijk Kerstfeest, Rob, to you and yours.

What a wonderful old image, I remember those type of trash cans. The object on the right to me looks like a long haired rabbit toy. :) Rob, I think your effort of bringing the polaroid look is about right. Well done once again, bravo!!! tigs=^..^=

What a cute photo you picked to share. Nice work on this too. Have a Blessed Christmas.

Smiles ... Is old enough to remember old Polaroids. I think you achieved the effect beautifully. The only thing it's missing is the high gloss sheen and the smell (Remember the smell of a fresh Polaroid?).

Very cute picture. I'm amused that the dog held his pose perfectly, but the child obviously had difficulty keeping still (You can see a slight motion blur around the child's head). lol

Not only a wonderful colorization, Rob, but a wonderful photograph selection, too.

An interesting photo from the late 1930s. Once again, you did a masterful job in its colorization.
Also interesting is information about French. He was the proprietor of many photos of the National Photo Company.

Text from the Library of Congress: "The National Photo Company Collection documents virtually all aspects of Washington, D.C., life. During the administrations of Presidents Wilson, Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover, the National Photo Company supplied photographs of current news events in Washington, D.C., as a daily service to its subscribers. It also prepared sets of pictures on popular subjects and undertook special photographic assignments for local businesses and government agencies. The images date between ca. 1850 and 1945; the bulk of the images were created between 1909 and 1932. The photographic files of the National Photo Company, including an estimated 80,000 images (photographic prints and corresponding glass negatives), were acquired by the Library from its proprietor Herbert E. French in 1947.") The company closed about 1940, a victim of the Depression.

The basket weave on the Crib is really cool Rob. I'm sure it was the real thing, not like the plastic ones of today. The dog is praying that the boys prayers gets answered. There will be food in it for him.
Wonderful scene and as usual your work excels.

Merry Christmas
