Rob, during my former career I've visited three of the four the US Virgin Islands (Saint Croix, Saint John, Saint Thomas, and Water Island) many times. Due to mass tourism (which apparently brought in a lot of money) I didn't find situations like the depicted one (anymore).
The perfect way of colorization hasn't softened the perhaps distressing situation as shown. On the other hand, it gives the reality of the time more authenticity. Excellently done again.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

The procedure for colorization truly adds to this capture, such rare scenes, makes one think ... a lot. Bravo, your work is so complimentary.

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

Nice work, the girls are all dolled up, but the older one has no shoes.

Another amazing work my friend. They are in their finest cloths & like the expressions on their face. Your colouring of this really makes this one look like a million dollars better. Bravo
