Beautiful.The left leg of the centre man - I guess you painted it, it looks great. There is a slight indication of painting near the knee of the left man and the centre man.Other than that, I feel this is the best restoration so far.

Very nice work! The details are astounding, especially in the clothing. The bottom part is still very dark, particularly the bottom half of the middle guy's face. It might benefit from a masked levels/curves adjustment layer to even it out? But excellent work overall!

Fantastic restoration. The only thing that bothers me is that they look like they are wearing athletic shoes. Good job.
