[khawley]

Hi everyone, I have done a lot of work on this picture but I need a little help figuring out how to do the feet/shoes.

what i have so far...



Original



Any thoughts?  other than just cropping it?
Thanks

Kris, I think you have done a good job so far with what information you have available. Do not crop this photo as QC lays the restored up to the original for comparison. If a crop is needed QC will do it.

Beautiful restore Kris!
I like how you built up the background, it looks very good.
What if you paint (dread!) something that looks like feet,  Then darken the image some and use a layer mask with gradient so only a small part of the bottom is darker?

Thanks Hannie, that seems to do the trick!
