I've done some colourations of black and white photos in the past, and thought i'd get back into it... so i started off with something simple... an old picture scanned from behind a cracked glass frame...

before:

after:

I'm still not sure about the sky.. since this stuff is mostly subjective, if the person I'm doing it for, likes it, then the saturation stays. if not, i'll probably tone it back down to a previous revision...

note ... just noticed the RGB profiles are a bit off on this machine... exported image is a bit more turquois than it should be...

gotta have a proper colour profile.. cheap-ass LCD generic crap... it's actually blue in the master copy.. not sure why the profile is skewing it to turquois on export..

My advice would be to go here

http://www.gettyone.com

and download a sky.
You can then easily slice it into the background.

the person in this case doesn't want a sky added in... she just wants what's in the picture. And that's what I'm providing....her son has enough photoshop skillz to add a sky later if need be.
