Augusta 'Suffy' Williams - can this image be improved?
« on: Friday 18 May 18 11:28 BST (UK) »
This is an image of my cousin 'Suffy' Williams who I have just discovered was an active suffragette. Can anyone improve this image so that I can see her face a little clearer. I'm not expecting miracles but you guys never cease to amaze me with what you can achieve - here's hoping  ;)

Unfortunately it is a bit fuzzy about the face, but here are a couple of versions from me. I used to have a sit up and beg bike like that.

These are both amazing Pat - you can definitely see more of her face now & the lovely colours you have used really transform the image. Riding a bike with that length of skirt must have a been a skill in itself  :o
These will be great additions to the family album - thank you Pat

My go, regards, John.

I think you have performed a minor miracle on her face John - really great to see 'more' of her. Thanks so much - really appreciated

Again I see more of her features with each version. The B&W image is excellent & all from an original image of 80cm x 55cm. A lovely restore from you japeflakes - I'm very grateful.

It's lovely to see a little more of the face of this strong independent woman. Another great restore from you Carol which as always is greatly appreciated by me.
Thank you
