I took some pictures of my boyfriends sisters.  They are not models so they really didn't know how to pose but their are a few shots that I like. 

Here's one...


With no MUA, bad lighting because it was done in their house....Its really how for me to decide what to do with these pictures...

Any take on how to make this one better

Shari.. Even the large image had so few pixels to work with (96dpi) and it was terribly over sharpened.

I was barely able to pull this out of it.  It's not the best, but all I could do considering the original.

Thanks for working with the image, I am not sure why the large version is coming out with so few pixels but I will upload to photobucket again and repost.

It's photobucket itself that's decreasing the resolution so re-uploading won't change that.

With more pixels to work with there are possibilities but even the one you've uploaded to photobucket's too small to really work with.

If you have a raw image, or something with some more pixels to it there's a very good possibility of fixing it, but in it's current form there's just not enough image to work with effectively (at least for me, someone else may want to give it a go).

Bit of a sloppy job here, but there wasn't much to work with.

I have something with 3000 x 2500 pixels....I need a site that will host something that large. Photobucket automatically resizes.

Help? smile

This looks great! I wish I would have posted a larger one! The bride would be stoked.

How did you get everything lit so well without it looking strange? smile
