Title: Your efforts appreciated
Post by: nuff on Sunday 22 August 10 20:13 BST (UK)
Enclosed family group. I am trying to improve original to make a printable image for the family. I have gone so far but imagine someone could do better.
The little girl on the left is of particular interest to us and I have tried to construct a single portrait of her. Again I am sure someone could show more skill than I.
Any  efforts appreciated.

Thanks for the rapid response. The detail certainly shows better.

As you will note, the right hand side of the chair in the portrait is a reconstruct taken from the photo which I presume has them sat on a chaise longe. I was that intent on the detail I didn't look at the incongruity of the two arms. Is anyone out there capable of sitting her in something more harmonious?

Hi,

Please find attached an enhancement of your original photograph, plus a cropped version.

The first one has a lot of subtle changes that I incorporated into it, to achieve a desire result.

Cropped version was harder, as reproducing furniture to near as accurate, was too time consuming.

Enjoy.

Kind regards

George
