Old photo-woman

This just amazes me what people are able to do. This image looks like it was taken in todays time but had a filter added to it to give it the age look. The artist did such an amazing job. They really brought out the features of this woman's face. It amazes me how light color the original image had and how many cracks there were, and how the artist was able to create such a different cleaner image, while still keeping it similar to the first. The hair, the eyes, the backdrop, the shirt, just everything! It is done so well and I would love to re-create something as well as this.
