Grandfather Neo Georgiou 1940s
« on: Monday 05 January 15 13:56 GMT (UK) »
Hi everyone,

I have just been sent a high quality scan of an original photo of my late grandfather from about 1940. Would love to have it thoroughly restored (some scratches, blemishes about that need fixing).

The current colouring is fine as is (b/w), some colour versions would be nice also, if possible. No blurry effect, sharpness of image important (particularly faces). Both gentlemen were part of the Cyprus Regiment in WW2. It is one of the few high quality pics I have of my grandfather from when he was around 19/20 years old.

Kind Regards and Happy new Year!  :) :) :)

Anthony

Good work ladies.

Love the pseudo Greek (or whatever) backdrop curtain!    ;D ;D

Hi, and a colour version for you. I hope its reasonably close to what the actual colouring would have been like in the real scene, this is my best guess.
Great photo to work on though.
