BLACK and WHITE to color with PS!

[elrey]

Hello everybody,I m new to this site.I am not a photographer and my love goes more to editing photos.

I just made a simple picture of a black and white painting of me and my girlfriend (unfortunately it was already behind glass so you see the flash in it), well what I have done is, I turned it into color with photoshop, first time I did that and I would like to have some professional opinions please tell me where I go wrong or and where I can improve it.

Thanx

As far as i can see you did a fab job here, never tried it myself, must be a lot of work! Pitty about the flash, next time take it outside to photograph under natural light or take it out of the frame. Well done!

I am no professional but that is one heck of a job. Did it take long?

Very nice job.

Thanx, well it only took me a few hours, also because I had to find out how to do it, cause it was the first time...now I think it would take me at the most 2 hours.
