Restore and colour nan and dad?
« on: Sunday 17 September 06 08:00 UTC (UK) »
Could anyone restore (its not that bad really) and add colour to it please? 

Its my grandmother Rosanna O'Driscoll (nee Henvey), the tall gentleman is my dad James, and the little boy is my cousin Fran.  The picture was taken in Ireland, I think, but I could be wrong.  We only have 3 photos of my grandmother and this is the best one.

Heres 2 variations - if someone wants to use them for colouring attempts please do.

Since I sent these first two I have made a few changes to the older boys neck & collar I wasn't happy with.

Those are wonderful!  I showed my father last night (he was drunk at the time mind) and he was over the moon, he didn't even realise I had found that photo! 

He also informed me the photo wasn't taken in Ireland, it was taken in England when he was about 17 years old.


Thank you so much!
