First post

Cloned out the major blemishes, rebuilt lettering. repaired dress. Worked on the face, mirroring the right eye to the left and tweaking to fit/look right.

selected the main pillar and right of the image, free transformed to upright blending back in and around Tess. used rectangular marque to the right of pilar to get a straight edge, then built the pillar out at top and bottom to reduce/eliminate curve from the camera lens.

i'd desaturated image earlier, so warmed up a little and played with curves to create pleasing image. scaled down to 800 width. saved.

I really love the golden tone in her face. Her dress and arms seem to be a bit different density/contrast from the rest of the image - perhaps just a selection of them and some adjustments might make them match more closely.

Photo has a very rich feel to it - your choice of "warming" colour and soft focus, I suspect. Maybe the lips are a bit heavy - the eyes and skin look really good. Your solution to the perspective problem caught me off guard - it's looks just great.

I'm so pleased someone finally tried fixing the perspective, but it looked so natural I didn't even notice until Tom's comment. Great job. I'd just try to match the arm/face tones (I think arms are ok, just lighten face a bit) (midtones and shadow, not highlights).

Nice work!!! And great idea to deform and reshape the pole.

Now why didn't I think of that? LOL

Your work on the background made a big difference and coupled with your excellent restoration of Tessa made a great piece of work

Very nice job. I also like the warm feel of the image. Excellent job on the lettering. That could make a difference to somebody. The darkened border also goes very well. I do think you cropped a little too much off the top, changing the composition. But that's only my opinion. Super job!

If I give negative feedback on an image, take it with a grain of salt. My opinion will be honest, but I'm a long way from being a pro.

Straightening that pillar really makes a definate improvement to that picture. You did a fantastic job on this one. Keep up the good work.

The darks are a bit dark, but a lovely idea about the pillar and the fisheye effect.
