Photo a bit washed out
« on: Sunday 09 October 05 15:55 BST (UK) »
OK Im on a roll now  :P ... hope you dont mind looking at another of my photographs.

This is of my Aunty with a rabbit (he is on the chair) but it needs a little bit of restoration work done to bring it alive ... the picture not the rabbit!

At a guess I would say my Aunty was about 8 dating the picture to about 1912.

Cant wait to see the results.

You two just love playing with photos huh ... and so glad that you do. 

Another triumph, especially like the sepia one.  Sepia is so nostalgic.

Great work.

Thanks

Okay, how about an early 1920's coloured postcard type of look, where the colours were ever-so slightly not quite right. Well, that's my excuse anyway!

PS  You even got the brickwork the right colour (cotswold stone in that area).  Think the photograph was taken in Helmdon which is a village I still visit when I go up to see my second cousins on the genealogy trail.
