I cannot believe the original studio photographer actually took the shot.....nice imaging work.

Kurtis, thank-you for your comment on my imaging work. Yes, some studio photographer did this and even before I could deal with the more obvious problems of shadow and reflection on the glasses; the entire photo was loaded with dust particles having settled on the wet negative. The drying cabinet door must have been left open; as a result, dust particles appeared on the original color print as white pieces. These pieces had to be cloned away first. This problem just isn't as obvious on this smaller file version. I just thought that you would like to know. John Steele

Great job getting rid of the reflection in the glasses, and shadow on the face. Nice color correction too.
