Photograph - Colorized Photo
Description
Colorized photo from 1941
Original Title: Amsterdam, New York
Location: Corner of E Main St and Church St, Amsterdam, NY
Not quite sure why the original was so faded and bright, not much reason for it anyway. Luckily it was saved as a 16bit, so it was easy to fix. There is a lot of distortion at the top, almost as if the building curves into the street. After repairing it, I had a large gap on the left. So I filled that in, and gave him a little more space to move around in.
This location is just to the left of a White Tower burger joint I already made. That guy on the left is in both images. Another site placed an ID on all the cars, so I was able to find them all with their original colors.

Wow, this is the first time I've ever looked at the comparison between the photograph you started with and the resulting image once you've colorized it. Outstanding work, Mike. You'd swear that it was a color photo to start with but it also has a painterly look that's very appealing. No wonder it takes you so long to do these! The details (like the sidewalk) are incredible.
