I think there should be a new disease:

Picrepair maniac addiction  :o :o

Strewth this one just keeps coming back, what a challenge! ::)

As usual the RC's have done amazing work. I was ready to pack up as I had several poor results, the challenge here and comments by members has renewed my confidence.

All we can both say is thank you is you are all marvellous.  The more I look at it the more it makes you wonder about all those ladies.  It looks like a formal photo and yet it seems to be in such a funny kind of area.  

Anyway thank you again

Don't worry, Mike, I've got one that turned up last year, I keep it in a folder of its own...I don't know if anyone else remembers the lady and baby with the scratched faces...It's too bad to restore, but it is the most brilliant photo for practice.

I think it looks like the hospital laundry to me.....

Still chugging away at it but have to keep going away and coming back.

There comes a time when you know you have to stop...
Think this is the best I can do

Ooops, my mistake, had to pull it and make a correction....

Once more with feeling....

Paula you have done an amazing job on that restore ... you can certainly be classified as one of "you clever people" ..

I have seen you come up with some beautiful results recently and I know you still regard yourself in the novice group.... you can be really proud of your efforts...

Well done

 :) mare

Nice to see a decent result.

Thanks mare, I'm getting better, but still have a lot of catching up to do on some of our restorers, I'm a novice compared to them.

from a vague scratched image to a cracking picture please all give yourself a pat on the back,
and it sometimes isn't the end result but the effort and time that goes into it, you all give your time freely and enjoy what you do, it isn't easy but well done to you all, i am sure claire is as pleased as punch with all the effort that has been put into this one, good on you all, kali.
