The original photo (right) is of my maternal grandfather, taken sometime during World War II. It's part of a collection I found in an old steel box along with letters, postcards, snapshots and even a do-it-yourself guide on building a fallout shelter!
The overall condition of the picture was a bit rough. It was stored rolled in a tube so there weren't any major creases but there is some crackling and what appear to be water spots. I used a lot of the healing brush and Levels. It was tricky to get rid of the crazing without ruining the texture.
I have no clue as to what's in the background. I assume the photographer is the U.S. Army.
Somewhere in this stack there's a snapshot of his troop after they'd taken out a German site. One of them is wrapped in a Nazi flag like a big beach towel! There's a bunch of them I'm going to scan and clean up, then burn them to CD's for my family. Fortunately the other pics look like they're in good shape.
