Well this is an interesting photo. Taken in a studio. To restore this I made several assumptions which may be wrong.
There are no shadows of the balloons on the wall
The background is white and not blue
The balloons are white
At any rate here is what I have and I would appreciate some comments.
Thanks; Phil

Phil,
I think this looks great. Looks like you have fixed some things that bothered me in your first restore. The background seems to have been fixed and I don't see the texture I did before. The balloons look better too. Cute picture.

Phil, I think your assumptions are right, great restore!

Hi Phil,
Beautiful job!
Because this seems to be a professional studio shot I am wondering if the two spots on the side of the bear's snout area are damage to the photo rather than damage or wear and tear of the actual teddy bear.

Pat, good point. I took a close look at the snout and it did show damage. I fixed that up before I submitted the photo. Thanks.
