« on: Tuesday 08 October 13 13:37 BST (UK) »
Hi all

we have very few photos of our late Grandma. This one is one of the better ones, circa 1938, in Helidon, Brisbane, Australia. Would appreciate a colour version if possible please:

eyes: blue
hair: mid brown
dress ?
background: australian bush colours . for assistance with background ive posted a typical australian bush scene.
Thank you in anticipation !!!

I can't really do colour and think it would be quite hard with an out-of-focus image like this, but I think it could look so much better with the horizon straight and expanded a bit so it isn't so cramped, anyway hope you like it:
