Old Lurcher Photo Colouring

[yorshirerose 81]

Evening guys hope this post is allowed. 

I have recently learnt how to colour black and white photos on Photoshop. I've been doing some of sighthounds and posted them on  Instagram (sighthoundsincolor).

If you post any black and white photos of lurchers or sighthounds i will attempt to colour them for you. All I ask in return is that I can post the end result on my Instagram (can crop people if desired) 

This is just a daft winter hobby of mine that's helping me improve my it skills. 

As a thanks for reading, I've attached a stunning bull lurcher from ww1, I wouldn't want to go against the bugger.

Cheers pal. 

My only other one so far, hoping to do one tonight. 

 

These are sighthounds on display in the USA in the year 1940. Not sure of any other details.

Thanks everyone for kind feedback. Had a go at the ones above but groups are out of my skill range at the moment but I'll keep trying. 

Instead I had a go at this old fella I'm guessing from the crook he was a shepherd? Any other ideas what he might have been doing?

He's a goose or turkey drover, the crook is to small for sheep and as it goes i have the end of a really old fowl crook sat in my shed that i pulled out of a burnt out shed on a old farm i was clearing out at work.

Amazing thanks. Why would he have a sighthound for that? Or did he just grab the crook/dog for the photo do you think

That jukel looks to be a typical old style, South Downland cur,.. and it looks near as dammit, to a Smithfield  type as I've seen..
