Rob, I've checked-out the link to compare the original B&W one with your (as usual) perfectly colorized version and have read what your your narrative has said too: "Daughter of agricultural day laborer looking out the unshuttered window of the desolate shack which was her home. She had never attended school. Her attitude was one of utter hopelessness; she was listless and completely untouched and uninterested in any living thing."
No wonder when one has to live in such miserable conditions.
You've tried with your editing to soften the sharp edges of these hardships. A commendable pursuit, but the harsh reality of this era can't be concealed.
Excellent work again however, my friend!

Mr. C. said it so well, so I can agree with him 100%. I do prefer your version over the original. tigs=^..^=

I love how you have coloured her. It brings her out from her bleak surroundings and makes her special in the way she deserved to be but obviously by the narrative she was not.
Poor girl, I hope her life improved

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Your colorization allows us to view this scene in a natural setting. It is spot on. I do wonder how captures of this nature were shown in this time period. Were there many photographers taking photos like this? Were people at that time compassionate and inclined to help? Such a stark contrast to the exaggerated and overwhelming period we are living in... extremes in many ways...compared to the past...I really love your photos, it reminds you that simplicity is a positive attribute.
