This is my second restore for OPR. First time I've posted on Forum. Any suggestions?

Bambin, you did a great job.  The only things I would do are tighten either level or curve on both ends and lighten up mom's dress.

Exactly what it needed, Shen. (Also used Hannie's tip about luminosity for the Levels adjustment.) Thanks for the help.

Bambin, This is much better! On the child looks like a white almost in a horsehoe--from under the eye to under the lip-- area that is probably damage that can be blended in more. What a neat old photo!

Great catch Margie. That highlight got even brighter with the Levels fix. Brought that highlight down along with the bright spot on the mother's forehead and smoothed out the shadows in the baby's dress a little.
