Hello,

I'm wondering if anyone can help me with a slightly battered c. WW1 photograph?

The trio in the photo are full of character and have lovely expresions but the photo itself has seen better days.

I'd be ever so grateful if someone reading could work some photo magic.

Very Best of Wishes, Rowan Tree  :)

A big hello and an even bigger thank you to Terry, Irene and Charles,

This might seem absurd but until I saw your clean-up's I hadn't realised there were flowers painted on the screen in the background.

Suddenly the photo is more clear and defined. I'm really made-up - such a clever improvement.

My thanks again to Terry, Irene and Charles. I very much appreciate you help, time and expertise.

Best of Wishes, Rowan Tree  :)
