False Colors and Nukes.

Me and a friend of mine were watching a documentary on a series of nuclear test done called "Operation Crossroads" I went to Wikipedia to do some additional reading and the article had an incredible black and white photo of the Baker test which was a nuclear device detonated underwater. I've read and seen a number of articles on adding color to black and white images so I decided to give it a try. This is the result of about an hour and a half of work of painting in the color into the image. I really enjoyed this project and will probably do some more false color pictures in the future.
