A colour restoration would also be great - thanks!

A colour version for your collection 

[LesleyMWood]

Thank you Wayne.  He definitely looks younger now that he has colour in his cheeks!  Do you think there is something a bit odd about the photo though?  I can't quite work out what is going on with bottom lip? Lesley

[Wayne N]

Hi Lesley,

I noticed that too. Maybe I went a little too strong on the shadows when adjusting the tones.    I'll have a play with the tones on the left and right of the bottom lip to even them out. It's midnight at the moment here in Melbourne, so might have to tackle this in the morning when I'm a little more awake and repost the completed the photo. 

Cheers, Wayne

[Wayne N]

Hopefully, this is better 
Sighted some images of a Jose Asuncion Silva (poet) for reference with the bottom lip/beard part, since the area of Thomas's original photo was a little too damaged.

[LesleyMWood]

Yes, that makes a big difference!  Thank you very much. I hope you didn't have to spend too long on the photo but I rather fear you did!

[Wayne N]

Not too long - Glad you like it
