Levels adjustment, conversion using channel mixer (mostly blue channel), cut dads face in half, command J and flipped horizontal, transformed, skewed and tried my best to not match the other side, many rounds with the clone and healing tools, several masked curves adjustment layers to restore some contrast, high pass filter with a mask, and a final go at levels. Dad was then selected and brought to a new layer I made with some scanned items I found (an old paint can and some scribbles on paper by my three year old) they were set on grey background layers and changed to overlay with various opacity adjustments. I duplicated the layer and screened the bottom layer then made a feathered selection with the top to create a marquee. I tried to get a better match with dad and the background but came up short. Fun project.

Really nice effect 'somtim' - the only fault I can find is that the angle and size of his right eye (our perpective) is slightly off - if you click from the original to your version and back you will see what I mean. Otherwise I think that the background and affect are a really interesting and effective solution to this photo.

Thanks Caitlin, I tried to use the angle of his hat to buy me some room on his facial perspective. Looking back, his left ear is also out of whack. I lowered the opacity when I was lining up his right side over the torn left but he kept coming out looking as if he were a dispaly in a department store window. I ended up stretching him a bit too much in my effort to establish a dominant eye. (He was cross eyed without the stretch) I remember trying to liquify and correct it but it smoothed all noise around his eye. Maybe I should have cloned in some noise and gone with the liquified change. Anyways, thanks for the kind words Caitlin.

Very nice, sometimes we tend to over do projects and take the age too much from the photo, you did well by leaving the bottom left unfinished.
Like said before, your light source in one of the eyes needs to be reversed to match the other.
