I apparently have plenty of time on my hands since in victoria we are under lockdown, so i thought I would give this one a go, I took some artistic licensing and changed the background. Also 2 versions a sepia and a b&w one

Thank YOU ever so much for the additional photos.  I do love the full photo like that!  Hugs to you!

Carole in Dallas.  I don't think you need my permission as I was tinkering with your own photographs. If you do, then you have it as I'm grateful for the opportunity to practice the repairing and restoring of pix which I can then apply to my own family's collections.   Half my family have sticky out lugs, including me and only my youngest sister had hers 'normalized' by a plastic surgeon at Canniesburn hospital, Bearsden, nr. Glasgow when she was 12 years old as she was bullied and mocked at her school.  A very simple 'cut' of some cartilage was all that was needed.  My brothers and I suffered the same but learned to fight, my usual response to ' Loppy Lugs' and ' Nelly the Elephant' and ' Hoi, Big Ears, where's Noddy?' was ' you may well laugh but they're not half as funny as your broken nose.'
Here's what James would have looked like if he had had the operation.

You made me chuckle with your story!  Thanks ever so much for the smile!

I did not have ears like that, but my little grandson does!  I was wondering where these came from!  Now I know!  Smiling!

I had to take a moment to thank each and everyone of you for taking your time to help me restore this photo.  Cecelia was pretty special to me since she stepped into the shoes of my great grandmother when she died to take care of her two children.  My grandfather was only a week old when his mother died.  Each and every one of these restorations are near and dear to my heart and I am truly grateful!  Thanks once again!
