Japeflakes and Carol,
Beautiful work! It's amazing how these photos can be be brought back. Carol, I wonder if you could change his eye colour to blue. I had intended to add that detail in the original post. Sorry about that.
Thanks again for your talents.

Here you go Stephen...amended the eye colour for you. I left the photographer's backdrop as I believe it may be imitating the ships side and deck.
