This is a retouched picture, which means that it has been digitally altered from its original version. Modifications: Colours adjusted more extensively than in main image, to demonstrate what this would look like with a more "Durovian" approach to restoration. Also, cropped, dirt and damage removed as far as I thought justified: The dirt is authentic, of course but much of the dirt and damage distracted from the work itself.. |
