Katreester,

What a great job you have done on the clean up!

A couple of things catch my eye, especially the grass as it doesn't look natural. I would go back and try to keep the texture and also vary some of the color to have some brown spots. You can add a layer and set to color and sample some areas in the original.  When I took this photo and did a Levels and Curves Adjustment, I came up with a lavender coat with red buttons rather than the camel colored one. The shoes stayed brown, but not the coat. After I color corrected, the sidewalk did not have a yellow cast to it. The last thing I notice and I hate to say anything as this would be a nightmare having a polka dot dress with damage to correct---we save those kind of restores for when we are in a humorous mood  >:D  I can still see just the faint traces of the damage on her skirt and wonder if you can either add a layer and color or use the paint brush to replace the discoloration?

Great job!

Margie
