Found this old guy at the Library of Congress photo collection from back in the day. I just liked his look for a color conversion. All done with pen tool selections, hue and saturation adjustment layers with colorizing.

I like the color Larry but it's just a bit flat for me.
If you open Curves you'll see no data in the the beginning of the shadow area.
If you slide the lower left slider over to where you have data you ad contrast and darken the image..

I'm not sure that's clear, here's a screen shot of the adjustment:

Thanks Steve, I can do that. Probably will look a bit better.
Correction made above.
