looks like a good rebuild..........but you had an opportunity here to alter the lighting and shadows, so why didn't you?

Wow, but it needs some extra work

I'd add a vignette and bring up saturation a little bit since it's kinda washed out. Also, the coat of the boy on left is not very good. gl!

its good but when I flip the bits and reposition on speparate layers, they all fit together realy easilly, with a slight rebuild on the mans leg.

so, what are you saying?

That its very good but perhpas not as dramatic as it first seems.

Thanks all for comments. I was not trying to be magical just was givening my self more of a challange than just color and removing specks.

ok, I see your point, but it is still a color conversion, and not a bad one at that.....

Did you actually tear this image into 4 pieces to make for more of a challenge? Just curious.

I wonder that too... I also wonder why did you show some teared parts upside down.... Looks more 'dramatic' that way... :P Well, if it was really teared like that before the restoration then you did a great job making it look like it wasn't. No sign of it at all

I took the parts that were scan for me by a source and worked with what I had

very nice
