Hello spotter
I like what you have done, but please take the next comment in good faith, I feel looking at you work its very flat, what I mean is maybe not reduce the opacity and try to bring back in some of the detail/contrast/colour.
Personally I feel like its looking into a fish bowl. (very blue)
It's just what I see . . sorry.
feel free to criticize my attemps as we are both working on a difficult image. TopiToo

Thanks yes it is rather blue. I think I was looking at making it similar to a baby picture I had in mind which was taken in shadow. I felt that the yellowing of the original was some sort of ageing of the print and once I had worked on the white point in levels,it was much less yellow.
I guess adding some vibrancy into it and maybe reducing the blues with selective colour would improve it more.
Please do criticize my efforts as much as you like ,its all a learning curve.
