I have tried a couple off times to restore this photo, just can't  seem to get it right. I'm a first time poster on this site and have seen some great restoration work. Would appreciate if someone could help me out.

Hi Bazza

Welcome to Rootschat

I've taken the opportunity to crop the image of all the white. i first thought that you were having us on - all I saw were bits of stray hair, etc.  :D

I don't know what went wrong before but there was a photo there in a corner.

Yes - I eventually found it tucked up in the top right hand side  :)

It's a lovely picture and I'm sure you'll get lots of takers. Do you want it coloured as well?

I never thought about colour until I had a look at some photos on this site I wouldn't mind having a look at in colour as well.

Hi Bazza

I had a quick go at it for about 1/2 hour but it really needs quite a lot of work on it with pixel by pixel changes and a lot of drawing to get it anything like. I've got restorer's elbow! I'm not happy with it.It doesn't meet my standards  :-\

I hope some one has the time to do it.

         What are they then?

       My effort looks like the Adams family with a severe lack of humour. Ah well you can't
      win them all.   ( I'm blaming restorers "Big Toe"  & Strimmingitus)
