This image was restored for the mother-in-law, its a picture of her son who sadly passed away in 2002. He was starring in a school production of Artful Dodger at the age of 14 when this picture was taken.

The difficulty with images like this, its easy to make the facial features look odd, when the damage to the image is in this area. It took a while to ensure the facial features were correct, before i continued to repair the remaining damage. Once i'd done this, a slight adjustment layer to darken the image was used.
