I feel like this restoration was saving a father and daughter from the fires of hell.

When doing a restoration job like this, where you have to re-create so much information (brick walls, bushes, ground etc.) from such a small amount of cleaned up surface, you run the risk of obvious cloning. I tired to mitigate it as much as I could, but it is helpful for some other trained eyes to inspect it.

The father and daughter are fairly out of focus and her smile looks as if she moved significantly while the shudder was open. This was both a blessing and a curse for me; it made some areas easier to restore while ultimately severely hindering the process of creating a really great image overall.

As always suggestions and comments are much appreciated.

This might help with the left hand and foot. The hand is in a very awkward position. More of a sideways view, I think.

Great repair job Jay!
I think you left some of the guy's leg out?
