Yesterday

In GI Joe dress, it was WW2 time after all.

Bit of a scan, some touchup, sharpen, contrast, brightness fiddle, attempt at colorizing, came up ok at A4.

Wife looks at the A4 print, remarks . . . Jeez, I can see each my 3 sons in that face!

Old photos - worth working on! Horse picture came up well.
