A (re)Touching Tale

I was asked recently to restore an old photo, for a friend of my father who'd been carrying, in his pocket for many years, the only image that he possessed of his long since deceased wife.


I managed to get most of the major creases out... 


Then I decided to try a little colour, I had to guess at the colour of the skirt and hair, and offered to change it, if it was wrong. The reply came back to me, that she had been gone for so long that he couldn't remember the colour of her hair. I thought this was rather sad...


I think she looks like a redhead.
