Yeah.. I agree, thanks JoAnn... I think I'm going to have to bury her feet in the grass.. I think she has bare feel (the child) I could probably create some feet .. what do you think..The rest of it is pretty easy.

I think there are no gloves - the whiter part further up her arm is a part of the damage - if you look at the arm closer to her shoulder, it's pretty close to the hand color. I see no fabric seam, folds, anything around her fingers...

The hat's pretty clear; even though she's holding the brim, it looks like there might be some other fabric object in her hand - possibly a pair of gloves?

Here is the latest from my photo.  I did darken up the bushes some and outlined her left foot and right to separate them slightly from the background.  I did nothing to the hands although the gentleman's fingertips seem to be whiter than I would expect.  perhaps it's the sun but I did not darken them.   Thanks Jo Ann

Hi Lynne.  I think she has no gloves and she is holding a hat.

Looks like you got all the damage. FWIW here are a couple of things I noticed

The tops of the bushes seem a little light.

Maybe a little adjustment needed on the girl's left foot - it's blending into the grass. Sometimes a very soft shading (via an adjustment layer) under the toes can help make it clearer when the detail is gone in the original.

The man's left shoe looks unusual - I don't really understand what I'm seeing. I did a search for 1940s baseball shoes and found some had two-tone designs - possibly that's why the odd colors?

The hands were quite a puzzle too - I assume both of them have gloves on their left hands? And that the fingers on top are her right hand on top of his? A little light shading to separate the hands/gloves might help.

What a lovely photo

Here is the one I am working on.  I have lost my touch as well.  Margie's suggestion on the previous photo for example I completely forgot about that.  Oh well.
