Hi jim1, it does look better with a smaller head, and the position is better. I think it could even go a bit further to the left

Tommy, I love the colour version. It does take some of the spookiness out of it

I've marked some of the inconsistencies that leap out. I think it's safe to say that this is a 'doctored' photograph.

Hi Paul
I thought exactly the same, but my cousin says that it is just a small photo that she had scanned, enlarged and printed at Max Spielman. I am gonna get the photo from her and scan it myself, then re post it
