Hi,

 Could anyone do anything with this picture, the only picture I have my brother, who was murdered in 1958.

Many thanks,

 Jim

Hi Jim

Would it be possible to scan this picture a a much higher resolution?

The higher you get the dpi the better job the restorers can do

Lenny has an elusive smile and laughing eyes and yet they seem  too hard to capture.

I had a go at this, and mine ended up rather like that of Niksmum, but not nearly as good.

What a terrible thing to happen!
Jim, I'm so sorry to hear of this.

sometimes, one is compelled to make an attempt, no matter what the cost - this is one of those times

I hope I have done justice to the memory of your brother
