Very good job of colorization on this one Rob. I wonder where in Indiana this was taken? since I live here. The torn clothes, and tattered clothes tells a story. tigs=^..^=

He must have cut his shirt on the glass Rob. Perhaps he was in a scuffle since he worked the night shift. Put a little coal dust on him and he would look like a miner.
Excellent work.

So many of these working kids look like they've been rode hard and put away wet. I have a feeling the torn shirt and the worn hat are partly from the low income these kids brought home and because they probably didn't want to ruin any very limited good clothes they might have had. There is something under his lip, on his left side, that even under enlargement in Photoshop, I cannot tell if it's something that was stuck to the glass or a nasty sore of some kind. Health care wasn't real widespread back then so who can tell. I find his choice of a belt interesting; it's a thin web belt with a heavy wire male/female clasp. My close examination shows me that you even gave his eyes a green tint. The mark of a good house painter is one who paints even where people don't see it; you colorized even where most folks would never see it. You're a perfectionist and a pro, Rob.

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.

He does not look 16. Maybe 13 or 14? I hope he ended up having a good and happy life.

It looks to me as though there might be some slight colorization remnant ghosts around his face, but they're light and certainly don't detract from the impact of the overall image. (Or maybe I'm seein' things? Rubs eyes ...)

Nik's comment to your skills and talent is well phrased and I agree with him wholeheartedly! :)

Hi Lisa .....ghosts around his face.... thanks for pointing that out...he bends his head in shame....must say I do get sloppy sometimes
but that's because I usually am working on four or five pictures and am at times just kinda lazy so there's a point I say I Am done and don't always check the layers while its every easy to do just turn it into a negative or brighten it and it jumps out mumble grumble so lazy sometimes ;0).... But appreciate your comment a lot it tells me you took the time to really look....so whenever I get sloopy let me know ....when I come to think about it kinda sure it will happen again.

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

Pfft ... No shame! And no shaming intended!

I always look at your work closely ... constantly in awe at your skill in bringing an image to life.

I have never seen you be "lazy". Your work is always flawlessly perfect. That's why this one was unusual and I commented, not sure if I was seeing what I was seeing.

I also took quite a bit of heat awhile back, when everybody was bitching about how comments are only generic and "nice" on Caedes now, rather than offering any true objective critiques.

So I stated that I would try to be more objective. But frankly, I generally find myself alone and am left to feel like a heel afterwards. So I'm not sure it's worth it.

I'm sorry if I put you on the spot. :(
