Hi Max! It's WAY past my bed time and a school night (back to restoring half the night after a bit of a break), but I noticed your post and thought I'd throw in a few observations. I think Dad's hair looks really good. If you could get some of that shaping in the little guy's hair, it would be a huge improvement. Both faces could use a little contrast. And the boy's mouth appears to be pulled too much to the left as we look at him.
I think I'd add some shading (or mottling) to dad's shirt and the background, as both look a bit too stark.
You certainly know how to pick 'em, my friend. Definitely a fine clean-up of one heck of a mess. Just needs some tweaks.
G'night. Hugs!

Thanks Glenna, sorry to have been so tardy in replying - but life does intrude!
Will make some adjustments and hopefully get it uploaded in the next few days.
