Title: Please restore scout photo
Post by: Miss Lilly on Sunday 27 March 11 06:41 BST (UK)
Hi everyone it has been a while since I last posted a photo for restoration. I hope everyone is well. Could this lovely old photo please be cleaned up. The age spots (there are some marks on the boys face), and dirt on the photo plus the paper backing removed. The photo belongs to a dear friend and this is his photo of his father. I have of course told him what miracle workers you all are so I am hoping this photo will come up wonderfully with some restoration.

Can't wait to see what all of you talented people come up with :) :) :)
Kind regards

Miss Lilly

Hi,

Please find attached a cropped version of your original, but I decided to colourise to enhance the overall persective.

I deliberately didn't colourise the background, as I felt it wasn't necessary.

I hope it meets with your approval.

Kind regards

Wow  :o :o ;D

Such beautiful work everyone. Thank you all so much. I must apologise for taking so long to thank you all but I have only managed to get back online after my computer crashed on the weekend but I am back and what a lovely surprise to see so many beautiful restores. I can't wait to show them to my friends. You are all so clever. Lovely black and whites and lovely colour as well. The smile is just great.

Thank you all once again  :-* :-* :-*
