The distinguished doctor #1
« on: Sunday 23 September 07 21:10 BST (UK) »
My grandfather, the distinguished surgeon, at rest in his livingroom with my grandmother. An idyllic domestic scene.

A cleanup would be nice. Thanks!

Cheers,

Before I start to play around with the photo chinakay, did g/dad have a goiter and g/ma's head seems too large for the body has some already 'had a goŽ? Only I keep looking at it and it seems strange to me. No disrespect intended

Hi Indaloman, no, they really looked like that :D I just scanned the photo half an hour ago. I don't think there was a goiter although they certainly lived in the "goiter belt", the Canadian Prairies.

Thanks for the cleanup!

This is my first post on this forum.  I had a spare fifteen mins so I've just tried to clean the image up a bit.  With a bit more time a bit of colour could potentially be added to it

Thanks
Mark

Hello Mark, and thank you very much for a lovely restore! Let me be the first to say Welcome to Rootschat. You'll find it highly addictive :D

Hi China

Here's a couple from me.  I think the "goiter" is some unfortunate positioning of the lace from the curtains.

So annoying, there is quite a difference between the two but it hardly shows up when posted.  ::)  The second one has higher contrast.

I can see the difference, Caz, but I think they're both teriffic restores. Thank you so much!

Did you remember to dust the bookcase and picture frames?

Cheers,
