In the critique section I believe you are supposed to ask questions or for advice on certain aspects of your work. This may be suited to a better section.
Now to the photo. Looks good to me. It still has the feel of an old photo but none of the creases and stains. Good post processing. Maybe the border could be made to look a little older. It still looks good to me either way.

Have you considered a career in photo restoration?

You did a nice job on this photo. I have tried to do the same but never did that great of a job. What program did you use?

Default Nice

Wow...you did a really nice job here! Maybe you could bump the levels more for darker darks but other than...really well done! I always feel really good when I have restored a photo like this. You really are saving a piece of history!

Very nice job on that. Couple things that I see: There's still a crease in the upper right corner and there's quite a bit of washout at the feet. Not sure if the washout is fixable, but the crease I'm sure is.

Thanks for your comment, you're right it need a border...

I used Adobe Photoshop, and the main tool was the clone tool.
