Description
Colorized Photo from 1900
Location: Detroit, Michigan, Belle Isle
Original Title: Detroit Casino and Central Ave bridge, Belle Isle (park)
When I first viewed this, I saw the two kids in the foreground, and the ones in the background, but not on the bridge. When I got closer I noticed this image is full of people, lots on the bridge and even a few i missed between the bars, and even more in the back. There was a lot more than I thought.
I chose a ginger hair color for most of them, they all seem to have midtone hair. The bridge is painted green, just like it is now, but I think it was designed to look kind of like copper. The actual color of the building I think was dark brown, all the post cards (all 2 of them), had it that color, but I didn't want a large dark mass in the background, so I made it blue, which was my intention before I got the cards.
I removed the canoe blur at the bottom, it would have been great if that was in focus. There is a neckless person in the back, it was an odd motion blur that I kept, we will assume she was a ghost of the place. The sky I added, I wanted a deep sweeping look, something that just looked dreamy.
