Could someone please improve quality of Irish grandparents please?
« on: Saturday 01 May 10 10:46 BST (UK) »
Both of these grandparents died when my mum was a teenager and this is the only photograph I have of my grandfather. The contrast is very poor and it needs a good clean.

I would really appreciate any improvements that can be made by the talented restorers. Thank you.

Many thanks Tony for your addition to the collection. My grandmother died not long after this was taken, and grandfather about 18 months later.

Thank you to everyone who has improved my photograph for me. Your contributions are greatly appreciated.
