Hi Pat,
What an amazing restore, there wasn't a clean spot left over but you brought it right back!
One thing that I notice is the difference in grain between the girl and her background.
It would be nice to have the 2 match a little more. It could be that adding a little grain to the background and smoothing (girl only, just a little) could work.
Perhaps also a little more contrast, just enough so not too much detail is lost?

:wow: Beautiful work, Pat. I admire your gentle touch.
Hannie, thanks for the suggestions. Exactly what was needed and I've tried to implement all of them. I think I have the grain more even throughout the photo now and have added a little more contrast in addition to smoothing out the lady's complexion a bit.
I really appreciate the compliment Bambi, thank you.

Pat,
With the changes you made, she looks great! :up:
Margie
It looks beautiful Pat!

Hannie
Pat,
it looks absolutely beautiful :-)!
However I was thinking if the bright part on the camera left side of her hair might be water damage and should be darkened just a touch?
Jonas you are absolutely right. I don't know how I overlooked that :D Thank you!
