Including the cap. 2/ They don't look old enough to fit in with the usual "Sepia aged folks" of the bygone era of sepia photographs. I think it was worth a try to see what it would look like in Sepia, fair enough. But that's as far as I would take it. The series to this point in B&W is so powerful with the few colour images, the sepia wouldn't do anything for the overall look and impact but be a gimmick distraction. You have a winner without question in the complete series without fiddling with anything else. Stay the course mon ami with the B&W and few colour. cheers, ted
