Nice restore jdias ...welcome to Rootschat . I hope you can stick around and do some more restores for us ... You have done a super job on that . maintaining the original look ... it doesn't lookas  if it has been restored ... if you know what I mean ..  It's all I can do to stop myself from straightening it up  ;D but somehow it seems to add to it's charm ..  I suspect this isn't your first attempt at restoring .. nicely done ...and welcome aboard.. They're a great bunch on here !

thanks polly, yeah i've done some here and there.  yes it is best to keep this one unstraightened like the original was. 

i've seen some of your work as well, you're pretty good too.  That job you did with the picture of little ray was great.

I'll say! Amen to that.

This restore is absolutely great. I just love how you resisted the temptation to straighten the whole works up. I shall have to keep that in mind when cropping (which is about the limit of my photo skills).

Here's my attempt
Sorry, I straightened it up automatically, before everyone decided leaning was best! Even though I beg to differ! (Here we go again! Going to have my knuckles wrapped be the moderater  ??? ???)
