ELIGIBILITY
This is a Training Ground contest. If you've received either 4 medals/trophies of any type (gold, silver, bronze), or 2 fx (advanced) trophies of any type, then you're ineligible to participate in this beginner FX contest.
In this contest your main goal is to create a realistic interpretation of what the supplied image would've looked like as a color photograph. You should strive to create an image that anyone would mistake for a real photo if they didn't know it was colorized. Realism and believability are the key words.
There are a number of ways to accomplish this (and you may choose any method you like).
