If you mean the first image, it is an animated gif. If you stare at it for a few seconds, it should change. If it doesn't for you, let me know and I'll upload a static image.

The color photo restauration is really excellent, IMHO... especially the way you removed the high-frequency damage from the older man with glasses was quite a feat!

On the black and white image, which is overall really excellent as well, I just keep wondering if the woman's right (from her view) lower jaw/lip is really that droopy in the original... I can see that the is some sort of "lightness" in the image that suggests a jaw line that is that low, but I'm thinking that that may just be an artifact of the damage... I can understand why you felt that it had to be restored that way from the base image, but that is definitely a difficult spot to restore, by any standard...

Thank you, you are probably right about the jaw. Just an educated guess. I appreciate your fresh perspective.

I agree with the good doctor. I think the woman's jaw in the b&W was probably less square in the original. The color restoration is amazing.

The left jaw of the woman in the black and white needs to extend a bit more outwards, seems to have removed some in the restoration.  Although it is still very well done.  Be nice to see them side by side like the colour one as well, the fade in and out makes it hard to compare.

You all make me cry at my lack of skills, I hope I will learn doing this maybe on the easier ones first.
