This photo is of a POW named Horace Greasley, He escaped from German war camps over 200 times mostly to try and go see his girlfriend.
Look at his eyes looking over at the German war machines most hated and feared officer Heinrich Himmler.
A man that deserves the shop treatment please, colourise this hero.

Horace.jpg He died a free man at the age of 91:yourock:

I love the shot, and IMHO should be done in B&W to show the horror and pride

War was in colour mate, but each to there own.
The idea is to get members trying different things within photoshop/gimp whatever.
But thanks for popping in and at least contributing something.

Here is your color, I think it's a shame to give Nazis anything, never mind wasting time portraying them as colorful humans ..just saying.

I've taken ages with this, and I'm still not happy with it. But I've got to hit the sack soon. And I'll be safe there because of men like Horace.
