A pic for the grandparents - DPChallenge Forums

We want to get this blown up as an 8x10 for the grandparents for Christmas. Problem is, me having an untrained eye I'm not sure what to do. Maybe I should just bag it and take the same shot when I get my new camera? Then again the chances of me getting that same look on my daughters face again are pretty slim lol.

and it's so blurry. I suppose there really is no hope for it lol.

Would it look okay if I softened it just a tad?

They love this pic of her but I think it's too blurry.

Ya'll are making me critical here lol. I'm turning into a perfectionist!

It definitely looks salvageable. Lots of things you could do to make this a great portrait. Use the original (large) image though.

Should I sharpen it more?

They aren't going to care either way lol. SHe could be sitting there picking her nose and they'd think she was cute.

I'm thinking of getting a print for us too though. I guess I'll go mess around some more in psp and see what I come up with. WIll post another later.

Thanks K.

Working quickly with the small image file your link points to, I think it's quite salvageable. Sharpening takes care of the blurries. A bit of color correction helps too--lots of yellow in your image... Also, this is the correct ratio for the 8x10 print--use 1:1.25 for your crop factor--lots of room to play.
Hope that helps!

I would, but it doesn't need much.

I like what KaDi did - I would've cropped it like that as well regardless of the ratio.
