Hi marcie,

Had a little clean up and re-size - to make it easier for Prue etc to date - are you sure you don't want it coloured?

Cheers

Keith

Hi marcie,

What do you think - not to bad.

Hope you like it - I think Prue is moving house - so no further with dating - I would say she looks about 60 years old - but I'm a man - so don't guess ladies ages  ;)

Hi All,

Would love to see Vhansen's attempt at this one - or one of you other experts - the detail in the photo is very good.
Perhaps someone can tell me how to get rid of the wrinkles (Opps sorry Gran!) - the only way I can is to use a filter which I don't think improves the rest of the work.
Any advice?
Here is the one through the filter.
Cheers
