Hi Dortmund

As usual I have concentrated on the damage & noise & left colour as is (Im not a great fan of colouring) but added a greyscale. Tone might seem darkish around the sides but if you overdo, the centre suffers which is tonally about right.

Cheers  :)

Hi,
I've had a go - not yet used to the colouring, finding it hard to get a green. Faces are a bit dark - must have been down here on holiday!

P.S. Am I right - they have to be under 300K ? I've had to lower the resolution to 42 pixels/cm and this is the largest I could get.
