Hi gang, Thought I'd share one of OPRs finest, a young WWI soldier, before sending him home.

Nicely done Candice. The family should be very pleased.
Very nice Candy, just one little thing I noticed.. do his lips look a little pink and feminine compared to the original? I think too his eyes are a tad too black..
Lynna, I'm looking over some last adjustments. In the original there was a great deal of yuck across the lips. I spent about 3 hours just working on the right shape. As for the eyes, perhaps you see them as black because I removed the jaundice (yellow/orange) from the whites.
Thank you Mary.
I think there are a few things that don't match the original in key elements of the face. I did a quick adjustment of your WIP and cropped to just the face to show what I mean

-The whites of the eyes are blue-ish
- the pupil on the left has cornea underneath it where in the original, the lower lid cuts off the pupil
- the mouth shape is quite a bit different. If you draw some outlines over the original you can see how.
- the jaw line is pointier than the original
- some of the shadows were lost (but you may already have restored those
Taking in all the suggestions, here is where he stands.

Beautiful adjustments Candy!
Oh yeah.. you nailed it girl! :up: :up:
Beautiful Candy! :up:
Thank you all for your suggestions. As always I run a last lookover to catch the small things not seen at 100%. He's now gone home.

He looks beautiful Candy. Love these old photos on card stock.
Thank you, Margie. I've always loved the old photos, too.
