Looks like your white balance was all askew. Menardmam's adjustment is a huge step toward the fix. Open in PS and open curves and use the eyedroppers to set your white and black points, then play with the curve.

Much better, but I don't think the soft focus can be saved. I'll be watching to see what the experts can do, though!

Why not join???? It's a great site to support even if you don't enter the extra challenges. I don't enter a lot of the member challenges becuase I am not very good at post-editing. But you obviously are!

its hard to fix out of focus shots & motion blur. Even the reworked stuff wont look good if you post 'em at that size. Prolly look much better at a smaller size. If they are for a brochure they wont be as big! No shot of reshooting?
Good luck!
