Spooky looking photo
« on: Saturday 29 March 14 07:47 GMT (UK) »
Hi Guys, I have this spooky and grainy looking family photo, does anyone think that it is improvable at all
Thanks for all your efforts my friends, I think you are right about some of the heads being added to a different photo. My cousin sent me the j peg, I have sent her an email asking if she has the original, but sadly no reply yet. The lady on the left looks the worst one, her head seems to be on the neck too far to the right.

Sorry I am not one of the "restorers" - but hope someone can help.  I do agree it does look spooky.  In fact, it looks like some of the heads could have been superimposed on bodies???  In particular - from left - the first girl, the 3rd (girl), the 4th (older woman).  The heads just seem at strange angles.  Could someone already have worked on it?
Good luck with it!

Have to agree it looks like an add on.
I've resized/repositioned the head on the lady on the left & the one in the middle & think it should be about like this.

Also, the lady with her hands clasped in front of her appears to have a hand on her shoulder which doesn't quite look to be at the correct angle to belong to the lady behind her.  Or are my eyes playing tricks on me  ;D

 A colour version from me. It seems less spooky now.  , Tommy

Yes Maggbill, I think you are right about some of the heads being added later. I only have a jpeg that my cousin sent me so don't have an answer to the mystery. Regards Richard
