Uncle John
« on: Monday 23 March 20 21:25 GMT (UK) »
If you have way to much time on your hands you might give this a go, I won't be disappointed if no one does it's a nightmare one but I read you guys were looking for work.
I do have a version I did myself.
If it look familiar I did post it before for dating.

Well done for having go.
I've been assuming there is a blanket hanging from her lap between the children, think it's a bit clearer in yours.

Gosh well done, you brought out quite a lot in the little girl, it never crossed my mind she could have been wearing a tunic type dress, and you found her arms, this is quite exciting.
Thank you so much I think I'll be revisiting my own attempt to see if I can recreate your excellent finds.

Hi Sinnan, if you have the original, could you scan just the photo without the border at a resolution of 300-400dpi  please to try to bring out more detail. This is only scanned at 92dpi.
Nice work Peter.

I don't have the original any more, but it was scanned at 1200dpi, problem is making it small enough to post, I've had another go a resizing after taking off the border so fingers crossed it will be better.

If it helps here are some head shots of the girl and mother, I don't have any of the boy he was disabled and died when he was ten so the above is the only photo of him, which is way it's so precious.

The image size is much bigger with the second one, so that was worth it. I have to go out for an hour for exercise but will have a go later for you.
