Default Can someone sort out my gash photography skills?
Would love it if someone could fix up this photo, so I can have it printed and send it to the family in the pic.

Ideally you would tell me what you did, too... it's annoying it's so bad and annoying that I don't yet know how to make it look any better. I have a trial version of Lightroom I'm trying to learn to use but it'd be as a "thanks for your hospitality" gesture so I really want to get this pic off to them in reasonable time.

Pic here:

Or also I have it in CR2 RAW, but that's 12MB. Let me know if you need it.

Many many thanks
Martin

The main issues seem to be focus and grain. Not too much to change.

Can't do much about the focus. Seems like the plant at the very bottom edge is the only thing nearly in-focus.

Make small prints!

Yeah as I feared. Not sure how I managed to make such a hash of it - most of my other photos came out great!

Cheers anyway

I really have no idea what the hell I did to f it up so badly.

To save my embarrassment, it's removed.

It wasn't that bad. We were all just busting your balls. You probably focused on the wall behind them or something. No biggie. Don't worry, it's not a once in a lifetime shot.
