Last winter I asked for help to restore this 1850s Daguerreotype. Several of you jumped in fearlessly and got me more than a little started. (Mark and Ken especially.) I've now finished it. What do you think of the result?
Way to go! 
I remember that project very well -- there were a lot of dark and light lines running across it. You've done an excellent job of getting rid of them! That was a tough assignment and I hope the techniques that were offered helped you. Also nice to see that you added some grain to the background you created to keep it looking consistent with the actual image.
The only criticism I have is that you went a little too far in redrawing his mouth -- the original image has those character lines at the corners of his mouth and lips that are a little more "compressed".
