Hello there :) this picture of me as a child was recently found in my parents loft in an old rover biscuit tin and looks rather sorry for itself,could anyone please fix this,it looks like a lot of hard work to be honest..

I'm glad you and your parents liked it.

For what it's worth, I love the original damaged photo. By pure luck, the "damage" to me has resulted in great colors and moody distortion. I would remove the dark blue-ish line across the upper lip and then leave everything else as is. You could probably sell this "painting" here in New York for $1,000 and people would write to this forum dying to know how to achieve this masterly effect.

Beauty in the eye of the beholder and all that!!

FWIW I agree that the origional has certain evocative elements to it. But on the other hand I can understand the person for whom the memory rather than the art is more important (IE the OP) the conversion must have struck quite a few high notes - it was a great conversion IMHO.

Cheers

wow i suppose thats another way of looking at it :),the history of my life would probably blow your mind,and a child of that age should never have gone through what i did,but i'm still here to tell the tale :) and stronger for it too...
