Rob, although the original B&W photograph has no title, it speaks volumes of the situation depicted. It would almost be said that it's unimaginable that people had to live in these circumstances, but in many places around the world it's still everyday practice and often even more poignant.
Here too, the excellent way of colorization doesn't embellish the picture, but intensify the desolate situation in which these people found themselves. Perfect job again!

They are no strangers to hard times Rob. The mother in the background looks like she is reflecting on her life and wonders where her youth went.
Excellent colorization and I agree wholeheartedly with SEA.

How people made it way back, I'll never know I guess. They were certainly strong for the most part. Terrific coloring tint to this one.

Mr. C. said it perfectly, you did an awesome job on this one.

Colors have worked very well ... interesting expression on the child's face ... sad knowing that these hardships have not really found a solution ...

Such a hard life they had, another marvelous piece of work on colouring
