Description

Hi all, another of my old family pics i tried to save. the original looks as if it survived a war, (well, it did...), and there was lots of guessing work, specialy parts of the face and much of the background. So I invented some kind of new background, with the best parts of the original surviving. As for the missing eye, i had to try and imagine, i'm still not so happy with the eyebrow. Ah well.. Have a GREAT week Dirk

Great work, specially her right eye. I tried to do something similar some time ago and I had great difficulties restoring areas where cloning was absolutely impossible, like in this case. Here you just have to paint and it always looks funny. But in your case it's very well done.

knap restauratie werk Dirk je bedoeld denk ik de linker wenkbrauw maar er is niks zo moeilijk als expressie maken in een gezicht vind het een erg goed resultaat

It looks pretty darned good Dirk. As for that eyebrow, did you try selecting the other one, copying it to a separate work place then mirroring it? It's just a tad thin is all. Excellent work! She's lovely! (:

Excellent work! Superb postwork! The only thing I'm not sure about is the red tint. It appears that the coat was red - and the red tint seems to steal a tad of detail. Other than that - I lift my hat!
