I've done a little bit of 'minimal intervention' here. I'll see if I can get it a little more smooth without losing the detail.

It's a tricky one Caz - very rough/mottled surface all over - did pixel by pixel changes after levels, etc. then a touch of smudgy/blending. For the last one, I put it through some photo filters - I think it was 'Glamour'  ;D ;D ;D
