Hi Everyone,

Were almost done with all the photos and I gave Nanda, in Joplin, a sneak screen shot of all your restores and here is her reply:

QuoteOh, Margie! These are amazing!!!! I can't wait to see them up close. Wow!!!

Thank you so much, and please thank the volunteers for me! I'd like to find out if I can donate to your organization or in some way repay you for this! Think about it and let me know!

Can't wait till the museum gets to see them.

Margie

I think that looks a ton better than the bright version. Perhaps see if Margie agrees?

I'm going down a rabbit hole...bear in mind this is a very small picture...

I think attempt #1 is the better approach.

I'd make the people a little lighter (and increase the contrast for them so they don't look washed out) than shown above and probably show more of the wall and rail (whatever it is behind them).

Unscrap your first version :)

Thanks Jo Ann.. I think you are right.  My first attempt was on those lines and I scrapped it..
Back to the drawing board.

That's a tough one. I think the issue is that the background shouldn't be light - it should be dark. Think of how a flash picture looks when taken on a dark night.

I did a very quick-and-dirty version of what I think this needs on the original (and I can share the PSD file if you'd like, but the masks are not finish-quality!)

The only other approach might be to vignette it, but Margie'd have to say OK on something like that

See what you think

I don't think you can squeeze more info out of this photo.
