You’re getting really good! If I may offer some constructive criticism, try using greens with more brown in them. The green is really the only thing here stopping this from looking like an originally color photo. I’m very impressed with your progress!
Many thanks for your compliment! Vegetation of any sort has been one of the tougher parts of colorizing. The green around S.B. comes in MANY shades of green, and choosing the right one that also has to work well with the shade of gray that is being colorized makes each tree, bush, plants and grasses require a color that is close to reality challenging. Then add the color of dirt, and boulders involved too that has to work with the surrounding greens. It’s all fun and hopefully readers have seen how barren the city was. Keep reading Edhat for more to come!!!
Love this. I wish the Lavanderia was still there!
