Upsize this image please - DPChallenge Forums

I have a very small image taken from a camera phone that I would like upsized. I know you probably can't do much, but I have tried and can't do anything so I figured I would ask. There is a man carrying a bird cage.

When I click the thumb below I get a blank page. Can you email me the original file? penrodc@comcast.net

I tried my best...but wow, almost nothing but blur when it's upsized. However, I'm not the most talented at processing images.

I think the image you see is the full size. It is that small. I will email it to make sure though.

Thanks

Edit - Thanks for trying cryingdragon

I'm looking at the email now. Yeah, I think it is the same size as the one you posted below. Tough to see any detail there ;/

When I upsized it, ran it through focus magic and neat image, put it through a bit of USM, you could actually tell it was a guy there, but no detail.

I don't think you'r going to get much out of it. You're asking to create something from nothing and the focus isn't sharp as well as a significant amount of jpg compression artifacting the image. It could be resized up maybe 10-20% but not really enough to make a sizable difference.

I'm not getting much out of it either. Its just too small and lacking in important detail :(

Here is my attempt:

Cryingdragon, you mind sending me a copy of that?

Edit - Idnic, that is better than what I got out of it... thanks

As others have said, basically an impossible task.
Here's a quick 80 to 130 pixel increase, though I think I should have stopped around 120 pixels, as it is falling apart rapidly.
