Thanks for clearing that up Sheryl. After sending my question to you I realised there are three examples in this thread - getting very complicated.
You are right though, I think mine is best also but then, I would, wouldn't I? Only you and me though, so we seem to be a minority - never mind eh?

Ok, mine is/was un unfinished by far but at the time I felt the best advice that could've been given was to help Harvie through to the learning of his own version of Photoshop, however, I'd not realised he only had an SE version of Photoshop which does limit the tools functions. Maybe he will go for the full version some time and benefit from learning to do his own retouching: or download something like GIMP to put him on the right path.

The Sepia too, needs to be dropped, especially now that we know the original was in B&W. Mother will have remembered this one in its original state too, so in B&W it should be, unless she requested otherwise; Mothers being what they are though, who'se to know.

This theme has brought out the best and the worst and also hopefully, will have been a learning experience for many; here's to the latter.

Thanks Sheryl the feedback is appreciated, confirms that someone is watching.

The real lesson there though, was the point that the original imagery was not sharp. Now whether that came from the download to UHH, as one I tried last night to do and which came out on UHH as a complete disaster; or if the original shot was not sharp in the first place, is anybody's guess, other than the OP.



Thanks anyway Sheryl,

PS - Sorry Sheryl, are you talking about the deer or the mother, we have a parallel running link here.
Whichever I suppose, it doesn't really matter as neither could be finished off because of the underlying problems.
