Hi Glenna,

What a lovely portrait of this lady, great repairs!

The first thing that jumps out at me is the area that I marked with the arrows.  On the left side (arrow) the light now seems too bright where in the original it is light as well but more gradual.  You compensated the brightness near the right arrow, I think the left side could use that too.
Perhaps the contrast is a little too high giving it the bright blue background and the blown out lights around her seat?

I also think that the darker part in the upper left corner could be slightly lighter?  That may be damage.

Hi Hannie

I've adjusted the image per your suggestions and would appreciate one last look before I send her home.  Thanks for helping me with the color.

Hugs!  GK
