Just popped in to wonder about the black mark on the left side.  I first of all thought it was a tear - but I'm now wondering if it's an aspidistra leaf (or other pot plant)   as there are similar, smaller leaf-like marks around it.

Ticketyboo, there was a very technical reason why I did not add the glasses to my original restore - I didn't see them. How I missed them I do not know, because restoring photos does entail close scrutiny of all sections. I have added some glasses now, but they are not quite the same as those in the original photo. I have also done a colour version for you.

Gadget I did wonder about that mark, it definitely looks like a leaf, but I  decided to eliminate it as it was on it's own. If there had been a few others I would have added it, but I  thought it looked odd/

" it definitely looks like a leaf,"

           Whatever it is, it's a distraction so I got shut

  On this pic , is that a shadow of his glasses on his right cheek?  Do I remove it and destroy

    historical evidence,  will I run out of Cornish Pasties before the next delivery,

   These vital questions, and many more, may or may not be answered

         Now back to mi' masts, spars and rigging

Thanks barryd, I was about to look at photographers but you saved me a job :-)

  I too was puzzled about the specs. I thought at first someone had drawn them in

    but they don't look right which may be the reflection on the frames. Anyway I've left them in although you can't really see them until you enlarge the pic.

That is another super version tomkin!
Thank you so much - the person who sent the photo is going to be amazed at what can be done if you have oodles of skill, experience and above all patience! I can't wait to send these to her.

thanks again tomkin :-)
 Once again I am intrigued at the different versions that people produce.
All the same photo to start with but very subtle differences that you individually bring, from a tired, dirty photo between you all you produce an entire album.
No one  result is better than another, just a slightly different interpretation. I am really grateful.

While I don't know much about the intricacies of photo restoration, I am, in general, 'very' familiar with this type of 'technical reason' :-)

I had spent a lot of  time just looking at the photo that I posted, when I looked at your restore I quite rightly loved it but had the oddest feeling that I was missing something - took me a while to realise that it was the specs!

Thanks very much Trishanne, its lovely  and the colour one is yet another delight.
