i've been playing with this one too. i didnt get near the detail in the top as granny (again, nicely done on that), but i'm somewhat pleased with the rest.

i cropped the image to start cloned out the camera and person. there was a ton of speck cleanup and other artifacting. this was done with clone, airbrush and push (smudge). i used Paint Shop Pro's red eye removal tool to rebuild the eyes a bit and a lot of work around the eyes was done with push.

and though i've been working on this over several days, i think i recall lightening things up with brightness/contrast layer, a clarify filter and maybe even a curves.

sorry for not having more detail on the workflow, but when i work on these a little bit over several days, the previous workflow gets lost when i save and quit. but, it's mostly my standard fare in workflows... just maybe a bit more detail work than normal.
