Comment: He was a little bit wrong with the wall paper in the back Ground

Meanwhile exists a very usefull colorization page (Image Colorization API) that can color b&w in a very acceptable way within 2 seconds. And it´s for free. Look the result (the Input was the b&w above) :

Fora such as ours live or die on the enthusiasm and efforts of their members, sometimes by the few for the many. But a loss of one, especially one so talented and generous, is a loss to all. Fare you well, sir.

I am so sad to just hear this news. I didn't know Don personally but I do know that he was a very talented man and so generous of his time. VEF has lost a valuable contributor but obviously his legacy will live on and that's something most of us won't have. Rest In Peace Sir.

I revisited the colorising thread today and was saddened to read of his passing.
He was a genuinely decent person who instead of being smarmy or dismissive of others work, was always supportive and helpful.
A good man, and a sad loss to all.
RIP Sir

demsal8/Don thank you my friend for your time, effort and dedication for this work of art:

Don's version looked better. Art enhances life rather than just imitating life; and Don was a true artist.
