Luzia Ralha (1900-2001) and parents
« on: Sunday 14 May 17 21:16 BST (UK) »
Hi everyone!

My girlfriend recently discovered an extraordinary picture of her great-grandmother Luzia and her parents.
The picture is missing a portion on Luzia's side. I'd really love to see it restored, "filling" the gap as good as possible.

I have a .tif with 1200 ppi in google drive here, if it helps: https://goo.gl/MkvYY4
The attached JPEG is only 600 ppi.

Thanks in advance!
Filipe

One from me. It was a joy to practice on the TIFF file! To get under the 500 KB posting limit, I've halved the resolution and posted at 'medium'quality. I think others (notably AndyPandy - I wish I had his wardrobe ;) ) have made a better go of it but PM if you want want the better quality file.

Awesome submissions so far! I'm really ecstatic with them!

@japeflakes, subtle and clean, thanks!

@Handypandy, love how it is extremely clean (looks like a HD version of the original!) and really a positive surprise on the "missing part". I'd like to see Luzia appear a little less "lean" on the missing part, if that's at all possible. Seems to me that a "rounder" figure would make it perfect.

@Mike, I feel yours is nicely balanced, and I love Luzia's figure on this one, seems "full" and realistic. Would it be possible to retouch the stone pillar's edge just a bit? It kinda looks "cut" in some places. Still, awesome  :)

With all due respect, I don't feel inclined to alter my version. I suggest that you accept all versions as they are, as none of us can be 100% sure of exactly how she looked, so you have some variations. Her upper body did not give me the impression that she was particularly large.
I would however be interested to know if she was pregnant at the time, her pose seems to suggest it, to me at least. I also wonder if her covering her ring finger is a coincidence or deliberate? These are the details that fascinate me.

@Handypandy, I completely understand and respect that. She wasn't pregnant at the time, but I hadn't thought about the "finger covering" until now. No idea if there would be a reason to deliberately hide something, which is very intriguing. Seems like I'm due a conversation with her living children  :)
