Candice, I think it works very well. While it may no longer look like an actural photograph, it is a great job in doing a painting of the likeness of a badly damaged photo.  :up:

If you have a full artist on board Margie, you will get the desired result.  I know that I worked very hard on it and I hope you'll sent it back home or at least show them the love I put into it. 

Thank you for your help and encouragement.  I sent it to Jonas, but have not heard from him yet.  I hope he got it!

Hi Candy,

Thanks Jonas.  I hope that someone can take it the rest of the way.  If they do, I'd love to see it.

I wanted to see if I could get a better view of what this kid may look like.. I don't know where to take it from here ?? but I thought I would share my efforts.

HI Jesterjeni,

I think you have done a great job on the face and it is still a work in progress. Continue to work from left to right. The hand with have to look not so fresh as it doesn't look right with the rest, but soften the edges and more noise it will fit in. I think I would not include the ring as I can't tell whether it is damage or not. Once you get the face, neck, and hand--start on the suit. For that you don't need details, just a fill in since there are no longer details and any attempt wouldn't work. Last will be the back ground.

Thanks for taking on what I would call a non-restore.

I think I am  stuck !
trying to make the fellow look realistic.

Jesterjeni,

You did a great job with this young man's complexion. For some reason I find that he looks like a young man in the B/W version, but in color he looks older. Why, I don't know.  Maybe his jowl on your left is fuller. What I would not do is use the background you have picked, but rather I would take the damaged one and use a Gaussian Blur to cause it to blend, or in B/W with a dark gray perhaps use a gradient. These are small nit-pics on a great effort.

The ring is way too sharp for the rest of the image. And should the hand be there at all???
