Title: Samuel Topham & Grandson in Skegness 1974 needs help
Post by: tup1 on Saturday 18 July 20 19:01 BST (UK)
Hi,
This is the only photo I have of my dad and son taken together on a trip to Skegness in 1974 it was taken by a street photographer and would like if possible to have the background trmoved so that they are just shown together if it could be done it would be very much appreciated.

I wasn't sure how much of the background to remove, so here's what I came up with.   :)

Hi DanNC,

Many thanks for changing the background for me on this special photo as it is the only one with them both on and it was also taken on my birthday.

Hi bluedoo,
Very many thanks for the improvement they both look a lot sharper and clearer.

Hi Pat.
Lovely alteration to the first photo and the change of scenery and I love the second one with the background made smaller.

Very much appreciated both of you.
