Clint's Moderate Restorations

[clinttmbg]

It's been awhile since I've done restorations, but any feedback/criticism would be appreciated.
Luv the forum. :up:

Well Clint, you haven't lost your touch. Just keep doing what you're doing!  :up:

Wow, thats so nice!  ^-^ I really like doing restorations like everybody else here.
I guess OPR is the perfect place for folks like us!

Nice work, Clint. You definitely belong here.

Great work Clint!  I especially like the one you did of the baby, great job with that one.

You may have been away for a while.....but you've still got the touch!  Nice job.

Thanks again for all the postive comments...
This one is from the Hard section, but I thought
an extra thread was a bad idea.  :)

That's a tough one Clint, there's so little contrast in the original. You've done well to hold onto the detail.  :up:

Can you massage the Curves any more to kick up the highlights a bit?

-Mark.

I might be able too, the grain is so strong.. it just works against you eventually.
I haven't submitted it yet, so I'll have a look @ it ... Thanks for the input.
It took real self-control to leave the grain intact rather than using dust & scratches
or floating a layer. I actually try to do these at a higher standard than the
restorations I did at a production lab to put myself through school back in the day.

I see what ya mean about the highlights... the wedding dress should seem white to the viewer and it really doesn't now.
