Quite the contrast! Looks almost like it's fuzzy around the edge of the burgundy.

More appropriate: White and burgundy on rice paper. Reminds me of the oriental noodles. Nice.

Nice one. Love the polka dotty pattern and the strong contrast between butterfly and background.

I love old photos as well. This is wonderful.

There are some areas that appear to be blown out. Were they in the original photo?

One of my photo hobbies is to colorize these old photos. It is great fun and as you are already have Photoshop, you might enjoy giving it a try.

In any case, thanks for sharing.

Thank you for the ride !

Ok Lelez, I know you this is going to sound like a tape recording . . . but. . . . crop some more. I love the center portion of this image. Sacrifice the flowers on the right to get rid of some of that background. The left can be left alone if you burn, or blur, some of those light green leaves. Remember, it is your image and this is only one, man's opinion.

Pink of the buds and bright red of the open blooms is interesting on this tropical beauty.
