FIrst off it looks good. But like anything can be improved. I can't see the full resoltion image but even in the web-res image I think maybe there is some fringes around some of the selections. Or it could be JPG artifacts. Would need to see full res verson.

I think the color is way over saturated. When you do this kind of a restoration I think it is best to keep the color muted. This hides any subtle errors and makes the image look it's age without giving up much. Put a hue/saturation adjustment layer on the image and crank it back a little

Is your monitor calibrated? If not that could explain some of the colors I see

Overall it is a good restoration
