I don't think I've ever spent as much time on a photo as I have on this one.  My wife's been getting irritable with me for spending so long on the computer.  I've managed to find him a jacket, trousers, shoes and a hat but what's disappointing is that you can only remove so many specks and blemishes from faces without spoiling a person's character.  I could spend another hour or so trying to make the clothes blend in better but I think I'd better leave it.

Well done Paula. I know how much work you've put into those.  Glen, I'm not at all satisfied with my effort and I'm going to have another go at it.  It might be a week or two but I'll be posting another one.

That's the thing with difficult ones like this, isn't it, Ken.
They are hard to put down. you always get the feeling that you could do better.
I gave up in the end, cut a lot off and put in a new background...

Ah well, as they say, if you can't win.... cheat ;)

Sorry for the delayed reply Paula.  I've been very busy fitting out our bathroom in my spare time.  I've kept having a go at the photo and blended the jacket and trousers better (I think).  Judging by the second photo Glenn posted, his great grandfather seems to have lost some weight and grown a bit of hair on top as he got older.  I'm still not satisfied but enough is enough.
