Little Boy (Mumford), Toronto, Canada, 1920s - clean up, please?

[Lisa in California]

Hi japeflakes:

As I see the different cleanups, different things pop out at me.
Pat's: I immediately noticed his face (when I previously just looked at the entire photo).
Rami's:  I suddenly noticed his eyebrows and smile.
Yours:  My attention was drawn straight away to his eyes.  As an adult, when he smiled, his eyes seemed to have a sparkle in them.  When he retired, he volunteered a few times to be a Santa.  His sparkly eyes and bushy eyebrows really fit the part. 

Thank you for your time and trouble.  I am so fortunate to have such beautiful copies to save.  Lisa

Hi Yvonne:

Thank you for your restore as well.  I can't believe how well you've all eliminated the tears and repaired the missing piece!

This will sound silly but if one doesn't ask, one won't learn  could his "baby teeth" be showing or is the shiny spot just his tongue or gums?  I've looked at the original with a magnifying glass and I just can't tell.  (It could be his tongue as it might be too high for teeth?)

Thank you Yvonne for your work.  As you can see, I noticed the possibility of seeing teeth.  It's funny how each photo brings out something different that strikes me.


I didn't think of asking before - would anyone be able to guess his age when the photograph was taken, please?  I am terrible with guessing the age of anyone!  Thank you, Lisa
