However, you've done a great job on this one - apart from the missing section of pram handle - and I'm most impressed that so much character has remained, a testament to the time you've spent on it.<br /><br />You hint, too, at the memories evoked by spending time examining the minutiae of old family photos, being the essence of Sepia Saturday. I often feel that I'm at a window, gazing out at a scene from the past, and if I pay enough attention I'll be able to see beyond the borders of the shot, both in space and time. That, after all, is what the photos were taken for in the first place, weren't they?Brett Paynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07706734864792449845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-52510103191557375512012-07-14T22:36:53.892+01:002012-07-14T22:36:53.892+01:00Great job with Photoshop!

Viewing the original I see you had to sacrifice part of the handle whilst cleaning up the pic. It’s a photo well worth preserving, not least because of Isobel’s lovley bonnet (which rival’s mine I think!). I was also struck how alike the Isobel we have now, is to her mother. That could be her standing there.Little Nellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11862657943846727987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-1730824081559735912012-07-13T12:08:52.468+01:002012-07-13T12:08:52.468+01:00We Should Perhaps Circle Our Prams In The Same Fas...We Should Perhaps Circle Our Prams In The Same Fashion As The Early Pioneers in The Wild West Once Did?tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03746435400444226665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-35078383668161167082012-07-13T07:29:48.674+01:002012-07-13T07:29:48.674+01:00I'm guessing that those rocks/stones in the fo...I'm guessing that those rocks/stones in the foreground, have been painted white (tell-tale drips of paint on the viewer's side).
