This old Gold left us long ago yet we remember him. This picture was taken some time in 1970 in B&W. I coloured and changed the background. Posted here just for his fatherly expression.

WoW!
Nice portrait shot Dr Qadir, this looks like the B&W version too was well done. Not sure what the earlier background was, but you've done quite well in replacing that. Details are good, and show clearly through your coloration efforts. Skin tones look very natural, and that texture is preserved. Nice touch to the eye's too. Keep up the nice work. Thanks for sharing this.

This is a very fine portrait but I like to see the original even if it is in color or if it is in black/white because I'm not sure you have used the right colors in your job. / Kjell in Sweden

The original is in black and white and is not in good quality print. However I will try to post it soon after getting the negative. Thanks for taking time and look at it.

This is a great portrait, great character, the skin exposed to the wear and tear of the desert and burning sun. I don't really agree on the coloring job though, the skin seems too separate to the rest of the face. Try finding a color portrait of an eastern man and clone in the color from there. the seams around the hair and ear has some b/w. The eye white is off too. Coloring a photo is very hard to do it well.

Great. I am really thankful to you for your great critique and pin pointing the errors still existing there. It is right that colouring a BW pic is not easy as we think. I shall work on it when getting time.
