Clean and colour please

Hi

Please can you 'clean' and 'colour' or 'black and white' or 'sepia' the only photo of my great grandfather.

Thanks

Here's one last try from me. I remember you said the last time you posted this one that he looked a bit stern. Maybe that's what you're not liking. That is the way he looks in the original photo and i don't usually try to change the expressions but I did this time.
Had to crop since I don't have time to clean up all the flowers again.

I think I may be the only restorer left who hasn't had a go at this one! (due to other commitments my time is limited at the moment)

I don't think I could improve on the restores/colourisations you already have.

Or me JC.

Perhaps if Jane spelt out exactly what she wants it might help but as far as I can see, on every posting each one is brilliant and I don't really think you could ask for more.
