Great example. The upper recreation of the damaged portrait of Jesus was inspired. The lower "restoration" not so much (yawn).If the point is that there are SOME folks who shouldn't... sure. In the hands of an incompetent, you may have significant harm done, such as with Potato Jesus. I would guess that we all agree that some folks shouldn't mess around.

But this shouldn't suggest that NONE should attempt it, because in the hands of someone competent, the modifications could be as much a masterpiece as the original. Point being... while some shouldn't... there are many who could... possibly even should. So, the question is, who are those people?

BTW I like the upper one so much that I plan to get "Ecce Mono" as it has become known, on a tee shirt!
