For me colourised photos always make the subject seem more modern and somehow real. Good choice of subjects, nice to see pictures of German soldiers as well. |

The coloring on those photos is really good. One photo in particular really stood out to me, the last one. My great-grandfather was wounded at the Battle of the Somme fighting in the Canadian army, and the mud in that picture looks just like the mud I've had to trudge through when I go duck hunting on reservations. I cannot imagine trying to fight in that kind of mud, as I have a hard enough time spending a couple hours trudging through it for fun! The fact the picture is colored in really turned a rather standard looking photo into something very much more vivid. Good find, Tango! |
