Dad and siblings

[krisesjoint]

Hi all. This is dad with 5 of his siblings. The last one hasn't yet arrived so this is the nearest we get to the whole family so is very special. Fortunately dad the oldest is in quite good order. Allways gives me a chuckle when I look at this photo. Dad in his short pants and him pointing at it and telling us how he was 15 so had not gotten his first pair of trousers yet, 16 was the magic age for that. Hope it can be improved. Auntie Holly in particular looks terrible and a very attractive young lady she was. Hope something can be done.....Kris

Hello Kris,

This pic is in pretty good condition compared to some,..mostly mine.
The girl on left hand holding babe needs a lot of work. There is a lot to work on
and its going to take some time.................I am a novice but had to have a go
and this is result to date. Should complete tomorrow or Sat time permitting
May have to do away with bows..............let me know what you think..

Cheers and thanks for your support

re current posting ...think lot of work on this pic due to changing background and the number
of folks in the frame...bit of a challenge and don't want chocolate box effect which may not suite everyone....especially me.

Exceptin backgreound, your colouring / tonal in on of the folks on the grandparents pic was pretty good.

Wow Skippy what an improvement already. Thank you very much. You don't look like a novice to me. It looks great. I look forward to seeing the next stage. Auntie Holly looks better already. I am very excited to see what has already happened. Dads hair I suspect would have just been brown when he was young so would be good if we could remove some of the Red. I dont have any others of Dad between one with his folks as a young boy and adult. Actually I can't believe how much hair he had.....Keep up the good work. I am always in awe at the results I see on this board so really wonderful to see my own family come to life like this....Kris

Thank you for your efforts rkaa. My family do look lovely. Looking at my family in colour it is hard to believe it was taken 80 years ago....Lovely...Kris

The uncles look great. Thanks again rkaa.  I tried to crop Dad (The Oldest) out of Skippy's yesterday just to see if I could get a nice pic of him on his own. Would love a good look at your version of him if its not too much trouble....I think it is great that you people get to practice on our pics and we end up reaping the rewards. Keep up the good work......Kris
