Bringing out the Buildings

Hi :
This is a photo of my husbands home place of the 40-50's . Can someone help me bring out more detail of the house and buildings? I would appreciate any help offered. This is the only photo of the property and it was taken from his brother's airplane ..thus the airplane wing. Most interested in getting detail back on the buildings. Ground and fields enhancement would be great as well.

Thanks Nebgranny

Sorry, but there is not too much that can be done beyond Candy's work. Here is an enlargement with a little enhancing to show you what we mean. There just isn't much detail in there.

Thanks Tommy. Candice the photo was taken over 40 years ago by my husbands brother. He built his own plane and was trying it out. He had a little camera and took the photo. So there will be no flying lower.

The sad thing is that all the buildings have been torn down and the house was moved to another location and added to another home for a remodel. It does not even look the same.

Time marches on doesn't it. When I started posting here I had a single daughter who is now married and has two children and you were just starting out with your restoration business.
