Hi,
Please can someone add some colour to the twins (they are the same ones as the previous ones aged 16) and can anyone tell me roughly how old they are in this photo I think they could be about 10-12yrs old.
Many thanks

Hi Sally_404,

Hi Kathy,
Here's a little something I whipped up. I'm not really into colouring old pictures (it's not that I cant, it's just I don't like to) however I do enjoy giving them a clean up and some tone adjustments. I think the colouring of old photos can be a wonderful thing but so can letting the original picture speak for itself. This is a fantastic old shot and as a very keen amateur photographer I find these old shots fascinating. Enjoy.
Greg.
To the other restorers out there... Please do not alter this image in any way without first seeking permission from myself. Thankyou :)

But as the opening statement said "Please can someone add some colour to the twins" that is no doubt what I (and others perhaps) tried to do.

My Box Brownie has the same problem...it just can't handle this 21st century colored stuff.

Hi Greg,
Very many thanks for cleaning up the photo of the twins it was very kind of you to do it for me.I know I asked for it to be coloured in my request but I do appreciate what you have done.
I am sure on this great site that if you only deal with improving old photos without colouring them people will be only to pleased for any you do for them.
Also a very warm welcome to you.
