Welcome Miz.  We are glad to have you join us. 

Nice job repairing the photo. 

Although you did a good job cropping the photo, I would probably not do that.  I would only crop the border if the border was beyond repair and the cropping resulted in a better composition.

Hi Miz,

Welcome, it is great to have you on the forum.  I'd say your first restoration is more than ready to go home.  Your levels and color adjustment are super.

:loveit:

Thanks everyone for all the nice posts!!!  and nice to meet you all! :)

as for the thing on the dress... seeing it up close.. it really does appear to be a flower.
I recall too there was a time where for poses in the wedding dress.. they would put flowers around the edge of the train.. so i am guess there are a few more spread around.

I am so hoping I am not wrong about hers hehe  but it looks like peddles when you zoom in

ok off to work way to early LOL

have a good day all  and oh ya I got it uploaded last night without issue :)

Miz  :hug:

This wasn't a wedding dress, this was a gown for a Mardi Gras ball.  She has a septar and the colors behind her tell the story.  Now it may be my computer but on the right corner of the gowns  down I still see a yellow cast.

Hi Miz

I want to add my welcome.  Our newbies have been such great participants in the forum, so I hope you'll continue posting.  I think your restoration is mighty fine.  I do agree with Candy that there is a yellow cast where she's indicated, and even a little magenta at the very lowest edge.  Otherwise I believe the lovely lady is ready to go home.

Glad you're with us!
