I'm having trouble finishing the hair & it's driving me nuts.   (Kindly refrain from pointing out what a short trip that might be, please... Roll Eyes )   I'm not sure how long her hair is & where the end of it should be.




Just realized I need to add a shadow to the left of it  too.   Can you see anything else I missed?

From the shadow on the wall, it looks like her hair goes down to the top of her dress. I changed it to Lab mode and found a bit of an outline in the a channel.

Pat, this looks so beautiful and I know these photos with her and her husband pictured together will be treasured. This is another one of those where downloading to my computer shows the colors better.

Thanks Hannie & Margie! I love it!

Since you both approved, I went ahead & uploaded it.  I did do one last tweak to the hair & finally it looks right to me.  Margie, I don't know what the deal is, but lately the files I've posted have looked better on my computer than they do on the forum.  Thanks for mentioning that this one looks better on yours too.

You know I've done a number of restorations since you fast talking, flim-flam artists, sucked me into joining OPR, but these were the first ones that made me cry.  It's never seemed more important to get it exactly right.

Pat, I know what you mean about wanting to get this photo just right.  I showed it to IM, because you'd done such a beautiful job on it, and I was trying to tell him the story and I couldn't get it out I was crying so hard.  You gave this young woman the beautiful gift of a perfect photo of her with her wonderful hero.  (Here come the tears again!)

Hugs!
