Hi Guys,  I have worked on this image so much that I no longer know where the cut off point is  :P

This is my start image



and this is where I am now



Problem is I am not sure if this is enough...Areas of concern are the young girl's dress and the trees at the top left, any suggestions?

When life serves you mud, make mud pies :)

Great job Bev!
The only thing that jumps out at me is the missing shadows at the bottom part of the photo. 
I find it easier to work on B/W, here is a rough try of what I mean:

The shading can probably even be much darker than what I did?

There seems to be some rope tied around the post . You can see it wrapped around and strung across with something hanging off it like a washing line  :-\

Bev, top needs burning in (vee shaped area), as do other highlights/light dresses. Nice job on retaining detail on the man in the dark suit. There is damage there, however, on the front of his jacket, lapel, and sleeve. Missing shadows could be darker than Hannie's (admittedly, she just did a rough fill-in). The center girl's light dress looks too yellow. Good start, though . . .

There is a rope going to your right from the pole. Doubt that anything is hanging from it, though - just missing emulsion.
