Here it is people! First is the original black and white image of the now extinct Caspian Tiger taken from Berlin zoo in 1899 and second is an image that I colorized myself recently. I know that colorized images of the Caspian Tiger does exist including online ones. And I think there are other colored versions of this picture too that was taken in black and white in 1899. But I think the result I got recently when I colored it is the one of the best looking colorized one that I have seen of that picture from 1899. I have colored it several times actually. And got interesting results. It got a lot of things correctly but messed up on some things like it missed the blue sky and grey clouds above the wall. And it also added bits of blue and maybe green hues in places too. I am not sure if green hues are just natural grass or any other greenery that was already present when the picture was already taken. But boy it got that Tiger very correctly. I think Caspian Tigers had more of a brown stripes rather than black ones. I have already shared this picture before online with people, the one that I just colored recently. It's sad that this Tiger went extinct decades ago and another very sad thing is that this is one of the few pictures of an alive Caspian Tiger captured on camera. What does everyone here think about that colored picture? And the Caspian Tigers in general? Reply
