Here is the winner of our Facebook Colorization Poll #16! The original black and white photograph was colorized by Okkama Colorizations, providing photo restoration and colorization services exclusively at The Psychogenealogist.
Here is the caption of the original photo from the State Library and Archives of Florida:
“Man reading the November 1956 Florida Outdoors magazine underwater at Silver Springs”
It is really worth checking out the entire 300+ item gallery of underwater photographs in that gallery.
We’ve picked out a few of our favorites:
The challenge of this photo colorization was how to capture the unique hues of underwater photography. We also searched for a copy of the November 1956 Florida Outdoors magazine to cross reference our color choice, but we couldn’t come up with anything. If any of you happen to have that issue laying around your Florida beach home (🤞🏻) send us a photo and let us know how we did!
