Hand Tinting


I came across these images whilst having a bit of a computer clear-out the other day. I bought a bunch of black and white photos (which I am pretty sure are the work of Mick Rock) at a record fair in Bristol many years ago. Several years after that I scanned one in and added some colour. This sort of work used to take a lot more skill than I needed to create these in Photoshop. Quite tempted to get one of these made into a framed print....but which one?

the one that looks better than the other one... (less is more)

That's my inclination but I also quite like the red...but no...yes ...but...um. ok.

The second one would be my choice also. I like the red and green thing usually but in this case it's a distraction. Great photo.
