Nice work!
(note to self... update smilies with thumbs up and clapping hands...)
Hey Rob! I believe I've followed you here from PSC. I've got to setup my photoshelter membership and then I'll be posting in here. Good on ya for the work so far!
Wow Rob... The original to me looks like a very difficult photo to repair... And you've done a very good job with it... I think I need colour in a photo.. I would have found this photo to be vert difficult... Keep up the good work!!! :)
I think this looks excellent! I can see (in my mind) a lot of very careful cloning and healing! Excellent attention to detail.

I think this second one looks good, but needs to be just a little lighter on the bottom third. I would try duplicating the photo and try various lighten modes to see which one might work best, using a mask (possible gradient) to protect the upper two thirds of the current image.
Thanks Betty. I lightened it up a bit.
