Yes Val, it was a little more difficult then most that I have tackled, but that is what makes it interesting. I'll have to try the healing brush, I get stuck on using one tool that works and don't get around to trying some of the new ones now available in Photoshop.

Yes, I used CS5 and the clone tool. You really have to watch which direction you move as you clone. It is easy to end up cloning parts that you don't want. I didn't time it, but I think it took around 45 min. I enjoy the challenge of this type of project, I could do it all day long. Thanks for the critique, it is always nice to hear good word these days.

I took a shot at removing the lines. They are telephone cables and are low enough to get in the way of everything. Have you ever figured out what this object is?

This is a beautiful picture and deserves the best processing that it can get. I used Photoshop and Portrait Professional to smooth up the Lady and Baby. I did not try to do anything with the background; it should be out of focus anyway. I increased the size of the image and used Photoshop’s auto tone tool under image and the high pass filter to sharpen a little and used Portrait Professional to smooth the faces. If you were to desire more, you can cut out the Lady and Baby and change the background or blur it some so the grain does not show there as well.
