Really appreciate the time and effort everyone.  It is amazing to watch the attention to detail you are all putting in your efforts.  I am having hard time deciding on which one I like the best!

Just wanted to take a little of my time (You guys gave a lot of your time!) to give some feedback.

When looking over these submissions I am amazed at the creativity and skills you all have.  I was looking over ever detail with a magnifying glass and enjoyed seeing the different display of skills shown.  Everyone displayed outstanding artistic and computer skills.  Whats even more amazing is you are all donating your valuable time to preserving people's family treasures.

Some of my observations of my beautifully restored photo:

1. Hat creases and toning were repaired
2. Background tapestry fixed
3. Blotches on arm cleaned
4. Pant legs darkened and restored
5. Drapes by leg enhanced/restored
6. Shoes enhanced
7. Overall contrast & toning improved
8. Small scratches / flaws removed


I am sure there are items I am also not seeing. (Goes to show how good the photo restoration really is!!) Subtle changes preserve the photo without it looking like it was doctored.  My three favorite restorations are from saddles, treetotal, & alandin (sepia).  These are just my "personal" favorites an not a reflection on anybody's work.  I assume when I show it to others I will have different opinions on their personal favorites.  It was really neat seeing all the different restoration renditions.

Again thank you.

To add to that:
Removal of writing.
Removal of garish frame.
Giving the Bridegroom some headroom.
Having him fitted with new wig..... ;D ;D
