The Three Muses - Bev's Challenge!


Bev asked us to take an old black and white photo and place it in or surround it with colour.
The photo is my own of three of my great aunts 'snapped' by a street photographer in the 1950's, they always 'dressed-up' to go to town in those days!
Thanks to Graphics Fairy, Chokolathosza@DA, Flickr free to use and Google for the other elements.

    I remember those days and have similar pictures of ladies in hats and gloves and very fashionable clothes. What a great shot of your three aunts together. I love the contrast between their black and white selves and the modern day misses. Perfection.

    This is a WONDERFUL example of what I intended, Judy. I love the contrast of the snapshot and the modern characters. This has so much whimsy mixed with nostalgia. BRAVO!
