First Color try !!!!!

Hi All,

This picture was taken of me in Toronto in 1970, at the Canadian National Exibition. I grew up training and showing horses in central NY as a teenager. My parents used to cart me all over NY, PA, NJ and Canada...... Too bad I had to grow up. This is my first colorizing, all comments and advice for the next project would be great.

Thanxs to you all for the comments, glad you liked it. It was fun doing it. I found this picture along with alot of other B/W in a box of my mothers pictures. Haven't sorted them out as of yet, but I know there are lots of techniques to use, we shall see whats next. The lasso tool is becoming my best friend!!!

Kim it really was a B/W. I can remember when my mother put it in an envelope and put it away. It has been in her box for 37 years. Most of her pictures are in pretty good shape.....
