I am sorry I can't provide you with any images for colorozation.

I was delighted to provide you with images for you to enhance as you said it gave you pleasure. I cannot do so any more for a number of reasons.

The main reason is that we all of us give up hours and hours of our own time to pursue a hobby not to make money. We don't own the images we share so we are not entitled to make money from them. I do not own the images I submit for colorization so I have no right to make any money from them or assist anyone else to do so.

If we attempt to make from money through the site we risk putting the site at risk. Recently we have seen many petty objections to images that have been posted. I am clear in my own mind that the biggest threat to the site would be if we were to attempt to make money from them.

Asking for money for colorizations also sets a most unwelcome precedent. Others have spent many years providing beautiful, excellent examples free of charge and it would undermine both their efforts in the past and the future for them to do so if others are making money from colorizations.

I do not want to intrude of your preference to work on Cardinals images if you have no great interest in providing color images for other teams.

I am very sad that this happened as you do have a lot of talent and I think if you were prepared to give more time on working in images you find challenging it would further enhance your skills.

Regards

Nigel
