Title: A CLEANED UP & COLOUR ADDED PLEASE
Post by: EffieAnn on Thursday 11 October 12 02:24 BST (UK)
Hi,

I am amazed at how you have restored and coloured the photos on this page. :)

 I wondered if you would be able to remove the mark in the sky, and also colour this photo for me please.   This treasured photo of Norfolk Island was taken in 1930 by my late Dad. A copy of the photo was hand-coloured as part of a photo competition prize, but has been eaten away by silver fish over the years.

Many Thanks,

Efffie Ann

Hey Tommy - much as I like what you have done you might want to rethink it as this is a photo of Norfok Island looking across to Phillip Island and where you are showing fields and a stream that is all ocean.  Here is a link to a recent shot of the area from a similar angle
